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.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tucker will receive playing time in major league spring training games, MLB.com's Brian McTaggart reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 20-year-old finished 2016 at High-A Lancaster last year, but he boasts a skill set that projects him to rise quickly through Houston's system. At some point this March, he'll probably fill in for Carlos Beltran and Nori Aoki, who will play in the World Baseball Classic. Tucker will join fellow high-rated prospect Derek Fisher, who already occupies a spot in big league camp. While this doesn't necessarily guarantee Tucker will have a significant major league role at any point this season, it reflects how rapidly he could enter the discussion in 2018.

Tucker, 19, was promoted to High-A Lancaster on Wednesday, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is awfully hard to find a flaw in Tucker's game. He can play multiple positions in the outfield, he has an excellent approach (75:40 K:BB in 373 at-bats), he is a threat on the bases (31-for-40 on stolen-base attempts) and he is developing some power (30 extra-base hits). Everything seems to come easy to him at the plate, as he has one of the most effortless swings in the minors, and given his age and pedigree, it's reasonable to expect his home run totals to increase with each stop up the organizational ladder. Lancaster is one of the better hitting environments in the minor leagues, so don't be surprised if he closes out the season on a bit of a hot streak.

Tucker (undisclosed) has been placed on the 7-day DL at Low-A Quad Cities.

EDGE Analysis

The nature and severity of the injury remain uncertain. Tucker had been on a roll, hitting safely in 10 of his last 11 games to raise his average to .306, and he's tied for the Midwest League lead with 23 stolen bases. The power has been lacking, though -- he's gone two months without a home run.
