Kyle Tucker Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (knee, shin) is starting in right field and is hitting fifth for Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival San Diego Padres and right-hander Michael King, per MLB.com. Tucker was held out of the series finale on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco Giants with a minor knee/shin injury, but he is ready for this week in a crucial series at Dodger Stadium. The 29-year-old lefty slugger has not had the first season in L.A. that he envisioned, and he enters Tuesday's action with a .234/.334/.393 slash line, a .727 OPS, 17 home runs, 70 RBI, 88 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across 148 games and 602 plate appearances. The former first-rounder's production has picked up in September, though, which has been good timing for the Dodgers with two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (knee, biceps) on the injured list. Tucker has hit .283 (17-for-60) with a 1.059 OPS, six homers, and 13 RBI in 19 games in September. Against King in 12 career at-bats, he is hitting .083 with one RBI.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (knee) left Saturday night's game early against the division-rival San Francisco Giants after fouling a ball off his right knee/shin, but manager Dave Roberts told Jack Harris of The California Post that the lopsided score played into Tucker being removed early. Roberts expects Tucker to be back in action for Sunday's series finale at Dodger Stadium, but they will see how he feels in the morning. Before leaving the eventual 10-4 win on Saturday, Tucker went 1-for-3 at the plate with a walk and a run scored for the Dodgers. He was replaced in right field by Alex Call. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger has not lived up to his big free-agent contract in 2026 in his first year in L.A., as he is currently slashing .235/.334/.394 with a .729 OPS, 17 homers, 70 RBI, 88 runs, and 11 stolen bases across his 515 at-bats. However, after hitting under .200 in August, Tucker has picked things up and has hit .288 (17-for-59) with six homers, three doubles, a triple, 13 RBI, 17 runs scored, and two steals in 18 games in September. The Dodgers are hoping he can continue to swing a hot bat going into the playoffs in October.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder Kyle Tucker is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers because of his "frustrations playing at home," according to Dodger Blue. The Dodgers will give Tucker the day off to work, and it allows Alex Call to slide into the starting lineup in right field while batting eighth against right-handed flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski. The 29-year-old Tucker has been a bust so far in L.A. in 2026, slashing .234/.332/.373 with a .705 OPS, only 11 home runs, 54 RBI, 66 runs scored, and seven stolen bases in 116 games and 476 plate appearances. In 59 games (231 plate appearances) at home this year, he has gone just 39-for-203 (.192) with a .566 OPS, two home runs, 27 walks, and 46 strikeouts compared to a .275/.371/.469 with an .840 OPS and nine home runs in 57 games on the road away from Dodger Stadium. Tucker is also hitting only .220 (9-for-41) with two homers, a triple, three RBI, eight runs, six walks, and six strikeouts in 13 games so far in August.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) is starting in right field and will hit sixth for Friday's series opener at Petco Park against the division-rival San Diego Padres and right-hander Walker Buehler, according to MLB.com. Back spasms have kept the struggling Tucker out of L.A.'s starting lineup since Monday, but he'll return for the first game of a crucial weekend series in San Diego as he looks to break out of his offensive funk. After signing a massive four-year, $240 million deal with the Dodgers in January, the 29-year-old left-handed slugger has disappointed in a big way to the tune of a .234/.333/.374 slash line, .707 OPS, six home runs, 40 RBI, 44 runs scored, six stolen bases, and a 20.4% strikeout rate in 318 plate appearances. The former fifth overall pick by the Houston Astros in 2015 has been even worse in June, going 14-for-66 (.212) with two homers, a double, 13 RBI, seven runs scored, and two steals in 19 games played. Tucker has faced Buehler only twice in his career and has one hit.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) will miss a second straight game on Wednesday against the hosting Minnesota Twins at Target Field with a back issue, according to MLB.com. Manager Dave Roberts said after Tuesday's contest that the struggling Tucker is likely to miss the rest of the series in Minnesota, so it's no surprise that he's starting on the bench for the finale on Wednesday. Alex Call is taking over in right field again and will bat sixth against Twins right-hander Joe Ryan. The Dodgers have a scheduled day off on Thursday, so Tucker's next chance to return to the starting lineup will be for Friday's series opener in San Diego against the division-rival Padres. The 29-year-old left-handed slugger has been a bust in the first year of his four-year, $240 million deal he signed with the Dodgers in January of this year. The four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner enters Wednesday's action with a .234/.333/.374 slash line, .707 OPS, six homers, 40 RBI, 44 runs, six stolen bases, and a 20.4% strikeout rate in 318 plate appearances. Tucker's buy-low window remains firmly open.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the hosting Minnesota Twins after being pulled from Monday's series opener early with lower-back spasms, according to MLB.com. Alex Call will make the start in right field at Target Field and will hit seventh against Twins left-hander Kendry Rojas. For now, Tucker should be considered day-to-day, and the good news is that manager Dave Roberts didn't sound all that concerned about the left-handed slugger's injury after Monday's game. If anything, it will give the Dodgers a chance to sit Tucker, who has hit just .196 (21-for-107) with two home runs in his last 30 games. The 29-year-old four-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner has been one of the biggest fantasy busts in the game in 2026, slashing just .234/.333/.374 with a .707 OPS, six home runs, 40 RBI, 44 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 273 at-bats in his first year in L.A. Tucker's strikeout rate is up to 20% this year for the first time since 2020 in his third year in the league. UPDATE: Roberts said on Tuesday that Tucker will likely sit out of the entire series this week against the Twins, according to The California Post's Dylan Hernandez.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) exited early from his team's game against the Minnesota Twins on Monday due to lower-back spasms. Tucker walked in his lone plate appearances before being replaced in right field by Alex Call. Tucker has struggled in his first season in Los Angeles, hitting .234/.333/.374 with six home runs, 40 RBI, 44 runs scored, and six stolen bases across 318 plate appearances. The 29-year-old's 39.3% hard-hit rate is the worst mark of his career, and his barrel rate (5.2%) is in the single-digits for the first time since the shortened 2020 campaign. Tucker has managed to stay largely healthy this season, but he may now be facing a stint on the injured list if this back issue does not resolve itself quickly. Should Tucker indeed miss time, Call could move into an everyday role in the Dodgers' outfield.

Through the first month of the 2026 season, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker hasn't quite given his new team the production they were hoping for. Across 133 plate appearances, Tucker is hitting .241/.331/.371 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 21 runs scored, and three stolen bases. The 29-year-old has been a bit better of late, as he enters play on Thursday riding a five-game hitting streak. Still, Tucker's 21.8% strikeout rate is his worst mark since 2019. His underlying metrics don't point to an imminent power breakout either, as his 8.0% barrel rate is the lowest mark he's posted since a 72-plate appearance sample size from his rookie season in 2018. As long as Tucker stays healthy, he's a lock for everyday playing time in Los Angeles and should continue to rack up counting stats, which gives him a safe fantasy floor. However, fantasy managers hoping for Tucker to return to his 29-homer, 30-steal peak from 2023 may end up disappointed.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that first baseman Freddie Freeman will hit second and outfielder Kyle Tucker will bat cleanup going forward, according to Katie Woo of The Athletic. Roberts made the change on Thursday to shake things up after the team lost the first two games of the series to the division-rival San Francisco Giants. "It's more of just trying to give Kyle a different look," Roberts said. Woo writes that Tucker's lack of production early on in his Dodgers tenure is a "small concern." The left-handed slugger is slashing .245/.327/.372 over 24 games with the Blue with only three home runs. "I think it's more just me trying to find my swing, and trying to find the consistency in it more than anything," Tucker said. The Dodgers are hoping the move down the order will help Tucker be more consistent at the plate after Roberts noticed his chase and swing rates had gone up recently. If the move to cleanup makes Tucker more consistent, his fantasy managers will be all for it.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker (personal) is expected to rejoin the organization on Sunday. Tucker has been away from the team for a little under a week while his wife gave birth to their first child. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tucker is expected to serve as the designated hitter on Sunday. He figures to return to the outfield in a few days once he gets his conditioning back up. The 2026 season will mark Tucker's first year with the Dodgers after signing a four-year deal over the offseason. He's hopeful to improve offensively after posting a "down year" in terms of his superstar numbers in 2025. Tucker slashed .266/.377/.464 with 22 home runs, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 134 games with the Chicago Cubs last season. He should be considered a top 10 fantasy hitter heading into the 2026 campaign.
