Tucker went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during a 10-9 loss to the Angels in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old got the Astros on the board with a solo shot in the second inning, and he added RBI singles in the third and fifth. He had a sluggish start to 2020, but Tucker has been dialed in at the plate for over a month now -- after a 1-for-3 performance in the nightcap Saturday, he's slashing .306/.356/.657 over his last 30 games with all seven of his homers and 30 RBI.

Tucker went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros scored 10 runs in sweeping the twin bill, and Tucker drove in six of them after adding a bases-loaded triple in the nightcap. The 23-year-old appears to be coming into his own in 2020, slashing .272/.333/.588 through 32 games with six homers, four steals, 26 runs and 29 RBI -- the kind of production his minor-league performance always suggested he was capable of.

Tucker went 1-for-2 with an RBI single, a stolen base and two walks in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker walked and stole second in the third inning. He then knocked in Jose Altuve with a single in the seventh to bring the Astros within a run, but they couldn't tie the game. In 25 games, Tucker is hitting .245 with three homers, four stolen bases, 18 RBI and 21 runs scored. He's added a league-leading four triples -- the 23-year-old could have some fantasy value in standard formats as a speedster.

Tucker performed well in the team's past four games -- two at home and two on the road -- against the Rockies, delivering seven hits in 15 at-bats with four extra-base hits.

Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk-off home run and two runs scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
With the game tied 2-2 in the ninth, Tucker belted an Erik Swanson fastball into the right field seats to get the Astros back above the .500 mark. The outfielder has struggled mightily at the plate thus far in 2020, slashing just .195/.235/.364 over 77 at-bats. He will look to build off his huge Sunday homer and try to get going at the dish.

Tucker will start in left field and bat seventh Sunday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker looked like he might have been at risk of being squeezed out of an everyday role when Yordan Alvarez returned from the COVID-19 injured list Friday, but Michael Brantley's (quadriceps) move to the IL a day later should allow Tucker to at least temporarily maintain an everyday job. However, the 23-year-old will likely need to turn things around at the plate by the time the Astros are back to full strength to ensure he continues to see steady work. Entering Sunday's game, Tucker is slashing .192/.234/.329 while striking out 23 times in 77 plate appearances (29.9 percent).
