Tucker was removed from Thursday's lineup against the Guardians due to an illness, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was scratched from the lineup a few hours before the start of Thursday's matchup, and Aledmys Diaz joined the lineup as the starting left fielder. Manager Dusty Baker hopes that Tucker will be able to return to the lineup as early as Friday against Cleveland, so the outfielder should be considered day-to-day, according to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker did the majority of his damage with a two-RBI double in the fifth inning. It was his first multi-hit effort since July 17, and in the 13-game span prior to Wednesday, Tucker had maintained just a .146 average with three RBI and three runs scored. Despite the recent downturn, Tucker still has a .776 OPS with 19 home runs, 16 steals, 44 runs scored and 67 RBI across 99 games for the season.

Tucker is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker went 4-for-20 (.200) over his last five games, so he will get a rare night off. Chas McCormick will take Tucker's place in right field.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker tallied his 18th home run of the season by taking Adam Oller yard in the first inning. It was his third long ball in his last 14 games, during which time he's also racked up 11 RBI and seven runs scored despite hitting just .226. Tucker has had a very season, already setting a career-high in stolen bases while pacing to break the 100 RBI threshold in a season for the first time in his career.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker, who went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-4 loss, looks to be receiving some maintenance with the Astros and Royals facing a quick turnaround for Thursday's series finale, which begins at 2:10 p.m. ET. Chas McCormick will pick up a start in right field in place of Tucker, who had started in every game for Houston dating back to June 1.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a home run, two total runs and two total RBI in Saturday's win against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker put the Astros on the board in the first inning with a single, and he subsequently came around to score the team's third run. The outfielder then slugged a solo shot to right field in the seventh to give Houston an 8-1 lead. Tucker has been one of MLB's top power/speed threats this season -- he's the only player in the league to have at least 16 home runs and 14 thefts.
