Tucker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker's ninth-inning homer gave the Astros a cushion and helped preserve the win for starter Zack Greinke. Tucker has hit safely in six of his last seven starts, going 10-for-29 with two home runs, three doubles and five RBI.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker's disastrous introduction to major-league pitching in 2018 (.141, 64 at-bats) has given way to a more confident hitter in 2019. Since joining the Astros in September, the 22-year-old is batting .295/.326/.500 with two home runs and eight RBI over 44 at-bats. He's had close to 1,000 plate appearances at the Triple-A level, so a spot on the major-league roster to start 2020 appears likely.

Tucker went 1-for-6 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in the Astros' 12-3 win over the Royals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker felt left out of the scoring spree and knocked a two-run home run in the eighth inning to extend the Astros' lead to 10-2. Tucker is now slashing .325/.357/.550 with two home runs and eight RBI across 40 at-bats on the season. He has started the last three games for the Astros after only starting in five of his first 10 games as a major leaguer. His next chance to take the field will be Tuesday against the Rangers in Houston.

Tucker went 4-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

After compiling a 30-30 season for Triple-A Round Rock prior to his promotion to the majors, Tucker has continued to showcase his five-category fantasy upside, slashing .353/.389/.529 through his first 12 big-league games of the year with a homer and three steals. The Astros are fighting with the Yankees for the best record in the American League and aren't about to take their foot off the gas down the stretch, but Tucker is earning his playing time regardless.

Tucker went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a walk, three RBI and two runs Sunday in the Astros' 21-1 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker drew a start in the outfield for the third time in four games and helped the Astros deliver one of their best team-wide offensive showings in franchise history. The rookie contributed two of Houston's team-record 11 doubles and even saw action late in the contest at first base, where he could have another avenue to playing time in the event Yuli Gurriel (hamstring) is forced to miss additional contests. In a more negative development for Tucker, George Springer (concussion) rejoined the lineup following a three-game absence, leaving the 22-year-old without a regular spot in the outfield unless manager AJ Hinch decides to phase out veteran Josh Reddick.

Tucker did not start Saturday but doubled as a pinch hitter and scored the winning run in a 2-1 win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker, who had started the previous two games, gave way for Jake Marisnick on Saturday. With George Springer (concussion) possibly returning Sunday, manager AJ Hinch will have to juggle Tucker's playing time with Josh Reddick's going forward. Hinch ruled out using Tucker at first base -- he began playing the position at Triple-A Round Rock in July -- as a replacement for the injured Yuli Gurriel (hamstring), Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Tucker started in right field and went 2-for-6 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 11-9 extra-innings win over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker made his third appearance and first start since being called up and hit his first career homer in MLB in the sixth inning. He later tied the game in the bottom of the 12th with a run-producing single. With George Springer (concussion) ruled out, Josh Reddick slid over to center field, opening up right field to Houston's top prospect. Pending Springer's status, Tucker could get a handful of starts in the coming days.

Tucker entered Tuesday's game after George Springer left with a head injury and went 0-for-2 in a 4-2 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Springer was carted off the field after making a catch and slamming his head into the wall during the fifth inning. Josh Reddick moved to center field while Tucker entered to play right. This was Tucker's first action since getting called up. He is not a center fielder by trade, so he won't be a direct replacement for Springer, whose condition is not immediately known but should become clearer over the team's off day Wednesday.

The Astros recalled Tucker from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Monday's game against the Brewers, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tucker will be one of three players joining the Astros on Monday as part of the team's second wave of September callups. The top prospect in the Astros' farm system, Tucker delivered a truly monstrous 2019 campaign at Round Rock, becoming the fifth player in Pacific Coast League history to post a 30-30 season (34 home runs, 30 steals). The reality of playing for a loaded Houston squad means that Tucker won't have a clear path to everyday work, but if he hits well in his first few games with the big club, he could unseat Josh Reddick for primary duties in right field before the postseason arrives.

Tucker will be called up to Houston on Monday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Astros didn't call up any prospects Sunday, the first day teams could add players to their rosters, but they will be adding players in waves over the week. While manager AJ Hinch did not confirm the players that will get the call Monday, general manager Jeff Luhnow said in a radio interview earlier this week that Tucker would be one of Monday's callups.
