Kyle Tucker Fantasy

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is starting and will hit fifth Thursday against the Rangers. The 23-year-old leads the team with 37 runs batted in but has been scuffling at the dish recently. Tucker is hitting .211 in the month of September and currently is mired in a 3-for-26 slide. After posting a .960 OPS in August, that number has dipped to .606 in September. Astros fans are elated that the highly-touted prospect has finally found some success at the major league level this season but should be considered a volatile option in fantasy the rest of the season.

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 1-for-4 with one RBI in the Astros victory over the Rangers on Thursday. Astros fans have been waiting to see Tucker justify the buzz that surrounded the young hitter the past few seasons and it may be coming to fruition. Tucker now has 12 runs batted in over his last nine games played and is slashing .367/.439/.837 over his last 49 at-bats. The 23-year-old is also posting a scorching 1.188 OPS with runners in scoring position, making him a player worth picking up in most standard leagues, if available, heading into the weekend's games.

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is in the team's lineup versus Kendall Graveman and the Mariners on Monday. He'll bat eighth and play left field after sitting out in two of the team's first three games this season. Tucker has sat both of his games when a lefty has taken the mound, which is a trend we'll probably continue to see this season. The 23-year-old's potential is sky high, but he'll have to take advantage of his sporadic playing time to force Dusty Baker into starting him more often.
