Tucker went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs and a stolen base Thursday in a 5-2 win against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Though Tucker didn't notch any RBI in the contest, his ability to get on base resulted in him scoring two of Houston's five runs. The big performance was a nice turnaround after the outfielder notched just one hit over his previous 14 at-bats. Tucker is on pace to get near last season's numbers with seven homers, 33 RBI and eight steals through 55 games, and he's posting a career-high 11.4 percent walk rate along with a career-best 14.3 percent strikeout rate.

Tucker's absence from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics is being labeled as an off day, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros still included Tucker in their initial lineup released earlier Sunday before scratching him, but unless manager Dusty Baker notes after the game that the outfielder is nursing a minor injury, fantasy managers can feel comfortable about his availability heading into Houston's upcoming seven-game week. With Tucker on the bench for the series finale in Oakland, Corey Julks, Jake Meyers and Chas McCormick will form the Houston outfield from left to right.
