Kyle Tucker "Still A Few Weeks Away" From Returning
2 days agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) "actually turned a corner" while hitting in the cage on Monday, manager Joe Espada said prior to Tuesday's game against the hosting Toronto Blue Jays. The hope is that Tucker will do some on-field work during the Astros' four-game series that wraps up on Thursday at Rogers Centre. After taking a bit longer than expected to bounce back from the right shin contusion that led to a stint on the injured list on June 7, Tucker will still likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to Houston's outfield. After Espada also said that Tucker is still a few weeks away from rejoining them, fantasy managers should still not be expecting the 27-year-old five-category superstar to be activated from the IL before the mid-July All-Star break.
