Tucker (shoulder) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Monday against the Angels, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old was removed from Sunday's contest with discomfort in his right shoulder, though the injury won't keep him out of the lineup Monday. Yordan Alvarez will shift to the outfield while Tucker takes over as the designated hitter in the series opener. Manager Dusty Baker said Tucker will fill in as the designated the next few days since the injury doesn't affect him on swings, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.

Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an additional run and a walk in a 6-3 victory against San Diego on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was Houston's most productive batter in Friday's win, walking and scoring in the fourth inning, singling in the sixth, and slugging a go-ahead homer in the eighth off San Diego reliever Emilio Pagan.
