3 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (back) is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Indians. Tucker was a late scratch from Friday's game due to back spasms and that's the same issue keeping him out of Saturday's action. Chas McCormick is starting in right field and batting leadoff in Tucker's absence. He could be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter, per manager Dusty Baker so it sounds like he's on the mend with his back issue. The 24-year-old is hitting .264/.323/.476 with 13 home runs, 47 RBI, and five stolen bases on the year.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
