Tucker went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI on Thursday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker delivered a walk-off single to tally his 16th RBI of the season. After a slow start to the campaign, Tucker has hit .413/.451/.630 with two home runs, 12 RBI and five runs scored across his last 13 games. Though Tucker's numbers on the season remain a bit deflated as compared to career baselines, he has quickly calmed fears that he would be a significantly less productive player.

Tucker went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and two stolen bases in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros struggled to generate much offense in Sunday's series finale, but Tucker stayed hot by posting his third consecutive multi-hit performance while extending his hitting streak to seven games. The 25-year-old hit just .087 in his first 13 games of the season but has hit .471 with two homers, three doubles, 11 RBI, four runs and three stolen bases over the last nine matchups. Tucker was moved around the lineup over the first few games of the season, but 10 of his last 13 starts have come while hitting sixth in the order.

Tucker hit a two-run homer in his only at-bat in a 3-2 win Thursday over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker pinch hit for Jose Siri in the eighth inning and hit a towering two-run blast off Matt Bush to give the Astros a 3-1 lead. The right fielder had started every game of the season and was out of the lineup for the first time. After beginning the season 4-for-46, he is 9-for-22 with two homers and nine RBI in his last six games. Coming off an impressive age-24 season, there were high hopes for Tucker and he appears to be figuring it out at the plate of late.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a double and three RBI against the Rangers on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was a late addition to Wednesday's lineup after originally being slated for a day off. He delivered a bases-clearing double in the fifth frame to account for all of his RBI and to put the Astros up 4-2. After a slow start to the season, Tucker has collected five hits in his last 12 at-bats while driving in seven and scoring once.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
With seven hits, a home run and a stolen base over his past four games, Tucker is finally beginning to warm up at the plate, but he was due for a day off after starting in each of the Astros' first 17 contests of 2022. Chas McCormick will pick up a start in right field while Tucker gets a rare breather.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder took Taylor Hearn deep in the top of the fourth inning, driving in Yuli Gurriel before later driving in another run on a fielder's choice in the sixth. The homer was his third of the season, but it was his first since he hit two against the Angels on April 8. After going 1-for-35 over his prior 10 games, Tucker has now secured seven hits in his last four contests.

Tucker went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base Monday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker got off to a very slow start to the season, collecting only four hits across his first 52 plate appearances. However, he has now turned in three-hit performances in two of his last three starts. All six of those knocks have been singles, and Tucker's lack of power early -- he has only two extra-base hits on the campaign, both of which were homers -- remains a concern.
