Tucker is expected to open the season at Triple-A Fresno, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Tucker has appeared in just 72 games at Double-A, the Astros decided that the highly-regarded 21-year-old is more than ready for Triple-A after he slashed an impressive .409/.438/.818 with five homers in 48 Cactus League plate appearances. A promotion to the majors could be in the cards later this season if he continues to excel in the upper minors.
