4 years agoHouston Astros outfielders Michael Brantley and Kyle Tucker are not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Mariners. It appears to be a day off for the pair, as Brantley has played in 18 straight games, while Tucker earns just his second day off of the season. Brantley has looked great at the plate so far with a .317 average and .885 OPS in 21 games, while Tucker is slashing .187/.222/.385 with five home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs scored in 24 games. Look for both of them to return to the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rays.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
