Tucker entered Tuesday's game after George Springer was removed due to a shoulder injury. He went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a 5-2 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker came in to play left field while the starting left fielder Tony Kemp slid over to center field to take Springer's spot. The rookie Tucker has seen his playing dry up significantly, having started twice in the last 10 days, but could get a start in Wednesday's series finale against the Mariners. Over 50 plate appearances, Tucker is hitting .156 with a .462 OPS.

Tucker is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker is on the bench for the fourth time in six games after Saturday's 0-for-3 showing dropped his batting average to .143 through his first 46 plate appearances in the big leagues. A .188 BABIP has certainly hindered Tucker, but the 21-year-old may need to pick up the pace offensively in his subsequent opportunities to avoid a demotion to Triple-A Fresno.

Tucker hit a pinch-hit, two-run triple in Tuesday's 8-2 extra-inning win over the Rockies.

The rookie entered Tuesday's game hitting .139 (5-for-36) and had started just twice in the last five games as Tony Kemp has been given more opportunities.

Tucker is out of Tuesday's lineup in Colorado, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Astros facing lefty Tyler Anderson, Tucker will head to the bench, even though his replacement in left field, Tony Kemp, also hits left-handed. While Tucker has not impressed in his brief big-league career (.139/.205/.167 in 39 plate appearances), it has been a tiny sample size, so owners in most formats shouldn't panic yet. Righty Jon Gray toes the rubber for the Rockies on Wednesday, so look for Tucker to be back in the lineup for the series finale.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a double, was hit by a pitch, scored three runs scored and stole a base in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker has started all four games since his callup and had his biggest impact to date, stealing his first base and producing his first extra-base hit. The dynamic 21-year-old outfielder scored all three times he reached base, including putting himself in scoring position when he stole second base after getting plunked in the fourth inning.

Tucker started in left field and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker's started both games since being called up from Triple-A Fresno on Saturday, going 1-for-7 with a run and an RBI. Manager A.J. Hinch said the rookie will play regularly at either corner outfield spot, however, there may be a slight period of adjustment to major-league pitching.
