Tucker, 20, is hitting .257/.323/.494 with 14 home runs, 40 RBI and eight steals in 66 games since being promoted to Double-A Corpus Christi.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker's power stroke has come around this season, leaving him as one of the few 20-20 players in the minors. His plate discipline has not been terrific at this level, though he won't turn 21 years of age until next year. Tucker remains one of the elite outfield prospects in the game heading into 2018.

Tucker (back) was activated from the disabled list with Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The top prospect wound up missing just over a month of action due to this injury. Now that he's healthy again, Tucker will resume his normal role as a regular for the Hooks as he looks to build off his strong .301/.360/.548 slash line in 36 at the level this season.

Tucker was placed on the disabled list with Double-A Corpus Christi due to a back injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This likely explains why he was removed from Saturday's contest early. It's unclear how severe the injury is, so it's tough to estimate a timetable for his return, although the earliest he can return is July 23. Prior to the injury, Tucker was slashing .301/.360/.548 in 36 games with the Hooks.

Tucker has hit 17 homers in 80 games between High-A Buies Creek and Double-A Corpus Christi, eight more than he hit in all of 2016, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems natural that the maturing Tucker, who added 15 to 20 pounds during the offseason, would generate more power as his frame fills out. However, the wiry 20-year-old said he feels his power is the same this year as it was last year. Instead, he feels he's staying through the ball more instead of rolling over it and hitting infield grounders. He's already bashed eight homers in 132 at-bats since being promoted to Corpus Christi.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double for Double-A Corpus Christi on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker has hit safely in both games since receiving a promotion to Double-A. The 2015 first-round draft pick (5th overall) made ultra-quick work of the High-A Carolina League, posting a .932 OPS with nine homers, 12 doubles and four triples for Buies Creek. The five-tool prospect could reach Houston during the second half of 2018 and should have a full-time starting gig in the outfield for 2019.

Tucker was promoted to Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros top prospect according to RotoWire demolished High-A pitching this season, posting a .933 OPS thanks to nine home runs and 12 doubles. He also drove in 43 runs and swiped 13 bases, prompting the Astros to move him up the organizational ladder. Tucker's stock has been rising all season, which could help him land a job in Houston as early as next season if he can find as much success at the plate with the Hooks.

Tucker, the Astros' top prospect according to RotoWire, has moved ahead of Francis Martes as the organization's top prospect per Baseball America. He's moved up to 15th overall on the Baseball America list of prospects.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker is crushing it at High-A Buies Creek in the Carolina League, sporting a slash line of .306/.390/.661 in 33 games for the BC Astros. His eight home runs in 121 at-bats is well ahead of last season's pace when clocked nine homers in 432 at-bats. If he continues to produce like this, a promotion to Double-A Corpus Christi could come by mid-season.

Tucker, 20, homered in back-to-back games for High-A Buies Creek, accumulating nine RBI during those contests. He is currently batting .333 with three home runs, 13 RBI and two steals through 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker has found little resistance thus far at this level, posting a staggering 1.125 OPS. The sample size is small, but Tucker has as much upside as any outfielder in the minors right now, particularly if his power stroke continues to develop.

Tucker made his Grapefruit League debut Friday, entering the game against Atlanta in seventh inning and going 0-for-1 with a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker, Houston's first-round pick in the 2015 draft, is widely considered to be the Astros' top-rated position prospect with RotoWire ranking him atop the entire organization. In 2016, his age-19 season, the Florida native reached High-A Lancaster for the final month of the season, giving us a hint at the potential five-tool player the organization projects for him. We expect him to reach Double-A Corpus-Christi before the 2017 season ends.
