Kyle Tucker Could Need A Rehab Assignment
5 months agoHouston Astros manager Joe Espada said that a minor-league rehab assignment could be in the mix if outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) "doesn't start running around here (in) the next day or two." Tucker was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 7 (retroactive to June 4) after fouling a ball off his right shin on June 3, and he was unavailable on Saturday after being previously ruled out for Friday, the first day he was eligible to come off the IL. "He's feeling better," manager Joe Espada said on Saturday. "He's in the weight room. I feel like every day he's doing a little bit more work. The soreness is kind of going away, [but] not totally -- which is much better." Hopefully, the 27-year-old All-Star will rejoin Houston's lineup soon. Fantasy managers must be patient and keep him stashed until then. Until he returns, Chas McCormick and Trey Cabbage will continue a platoon in right field.
