Kyle Tucker Working Out On Monday
4 months agoHouston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker (shin) is doing on-field work at Tropicana Field on Monday before the contest against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays that includes crow-hop throws, short distance, side-to-side explosive movements, some jogging and taking fly balls in left field. It's the most that Tucker has done at any point since he went on the injured list in early June with a shin contusion. Manager Joe Espada said on Sunday that Tucker appears to have turned a corner in his recovery and is "getting close" to running the bases. It's been extremely frustrating for Tucker's fantasy managers, but the 27-year-old left-handed slugger could be getting close to going on a minor-league rehab assignment and could finally rejoin the Astros at the end of August or early September. Despite all the time missed, Tucker needs to be stashed in all fantasy leagues.
