Kyle Tucker Back In Lineup Against Rangers
2 years agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (illness) is back in right field and is hitting fifth in the batting order on Tuesday against Texas Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. Tucker missed the last four games with a non-COVID illness, but fantasy managers should have him available moving forward. The 25-year-old left-handed slugger is hitting .241/.330/.448 with 19 home runs, 67 RBI, 44 runs scored and a career-high 16 stolen bases on the year in 404 plate appearances and 100 games. The first-time All-Star is a must-start in all fantasy leagues with his power/speed combination for the first-place Astros. He's struggled since the All-Star break, however, going 9-for-52 (.173) with a homer, five RBI and four runs scored in 15 games.
