Astros Hope To Have Kyle Tucker Back In Early September
3 months agoThe Houston Astros are hoping to have outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) back in early September, general manager Dana Brown said on Friday on MLB Network. To put it lightly, fantasy managers have been extremely perplexed as to why Tucker has been out since early June with a shin bruise. Brown said that Tucker has been increasing his baseball activities lately, but the 27-year-old still feels soreness in his right leg "when he has to sprint or do anything at a quick pace." He is going to need to run the bases before the Astros give Tucker the green light to start a minor-league rehab assignment, so if he can't run the bases soon, Tucker's absence could stretch into the middle of June. Fantasy managers shouldn't outright drop one of the best players in the game (when healthy), but he's also running out of time to make an impact.
