Tucker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with four homers, six RBI, nine runs and seven walks over his last 10 games. The outfielder helped erase a two-run deficit Tuesday with his fourth-inning blast. Tucker's counting stats are down after he missed three months with a shin injury, but he's still been productive with 23 homers, 48 RBI, 55 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a .281/.405/.588 slash line over 76 contests this season.

Tucker went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in a 10-4 victory versus the Angels on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI double in the first inning and added a solo homer in the seventh. The outfielder has tormented Los Angeles over the past two games, going 8-for-9 with a pair of homers and three RBI. Since returning Sept. 6 from a lengthy stay on the injured list, Tucker is batting .405 (17-for-42) with three home runs, seven RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base over 13 contests.

Tucker went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning blast off Roansy Contreras wrapped up the scoring for the Astros on the night. Tucker has been doing his best to make up for lost time since coming off the IL in early September, and over 12 games since his activation he's slashing .342/.447/.526 with two homers, five RBI and 10 runs.

Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros continue to manage Tucker's workload carefully coming off an extended absence due to a shin fracture. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 6, Tucker has bowed out of the lineup four times in 12 games. The reins on Tucker gradually appear to be loosening, however, as he started in right field each of the past three days after previously being limited to designated-hitter duties in four of his first five starts upon returning from the IL.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal, an RBI and a run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was one of two Astros to have multiple hits on the night and his second hit was a big one, as he drove in what would end up being the game-winning run with a single in the top of the 10th. While Tucker started out 1-for-10 over his first three games after returning from a fractured shin Sept. 6, he has since gone 8-for-21 with three RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games while also swiping his first base since coming back.

Tucker hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros continue to keep Tucker's workload in check, as he sat for the third time in eight contests since being activated from the injured list. However, he entered Saturday's contest in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and homered for the first time since returning from his shin injury. Houston is slowly ramping Tucker back into defensive work in the outfield, so he could continue getting more days off than usual.

Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker went 1-for-4 with one walk and one run scored in the Asros' 5-3 win over the Angels on Friday. The 27-year-old will continue to be slowly brought back into regular action after he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week. Ben Gamel will start in right field and bat eighth.

Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that he plans to have Tucker back in right field for Friday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
All four of Tucker's starts since he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week have come from the designated hitter spot, but his return to his familiar position in right field is imminent. Tucker is 2-for-11 with two RBI over 16 plate appearances since rejoining the Astros' lineup.

Tucker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Astros are being extra careful with Tucker after he returned Friday following a lengthy stint on the injured list. He'll be getting his second day off in five contests, with all three of his starts thus far having come as the Astros' designated hitter.

Tucker went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was activated from the injured list Friday after a three-month absence and has started at DH in two of three games since. He reached base three times -- once on catcher's interference -- with a single coming in the ninth inning. Tucker will likely take some time to shake off rust and is also likely to get maintenance days down the stretch as the Astros turn their focus to the postseason.
