Kyle Tucker Might Not Be Ready By Friday
6 months agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) is "making progress," but third baseman Alex Bregman (hand) is in a "better spot" to return for Friday's series opener on the road against the Los Angeles Angels, according to manager Joe Espada. Tucker fouled a ball off his right shin on Monday and has missed the last two games, while Bregman was hit by a pitch on his hand on Tuesday and was scratched from Wednesday's lineup. Neither player's injury is serious, but Tucker might require another day off on Friday despite having a scheduled off day on Thursday. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if Tucker is back in there. The former fifth overall pick in 2015 is a must-start every time he's in the lineup. Tucker has hits in all three games he's played in so far in June and already has 19 long balls, 40 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 262 plate appearances in 2024.
