Tucker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 victory against Oakland on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker produced Houston's final run of the contest with his solo shot to right-center field in the seventh inning. The long ball was his first since Aug. 27, a span of 14 games. Tucker is still tied for the team lead with 27 homers on the campaign, and he's also pacing Houston in RBI (105) and stolen bases (28). He needs three more home runs and two more thefts for his first career 30-30 season.

Tucker went 2-for-3 with two triples, two RBI, two runs scored, two stolen bases and a walk in Sunday's win over San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker walked and swiped two bags in the fourth inning before knocking two RBI triples during the Astros' eight-run sixth. Those were his first two triples of the year and he's now up to 60 extra-base hits and 28 steals through 140 games. He's currently stuck in a 12-game homerless drought but still owns a terrific .290/.375/.513 slash line this season.

EDGE Analysis
Tucker got the Astros on the board first with a two-run blast to right during the third inning for his eighth home run this month.

On the year, Tucker is slashing .296/.376/.527 with 24 stolen bases while striking out just 12.9 percent of the time.

Tucker (illness) will start in right field and bat third Monday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
An illness prevented Tucker from starting any of the three games Houston played against Seattle over the weekend, but he was able to pinch hit in Sunday's 7-6 loss. After getting the additional day out of the lineup to regain strength, Tucker looks like he'll be ready to step back into an everyday role in the outfield as Houston opens a seven-game week.

Tucker (illness) remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker will close out the weekend with a third consecutive absence, though he appears to be trending toward a return to the lineup at some point during Houston's four-game set with the Red Sox that begins Monday. He could even be available off the bench Sunday, as Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle relays that Tucker was spotted at Minute Maid Park earlier in the morning doing some light jogging on the field.

Tucker (illness) remains out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was initially listed in Friday's lineup but was scratched due to illness. He evidently needs at least one more day to recover. Chas McCormick will again slide to right field in Tucker's absence, with Jake Meyers handling center field on this occasion.

Tucker was scratched from the lineup Friday against the Mariners because of an illness, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chas McCormick will shift over to right field and Mauricio Dubon has been added to the lineup in center field. Tucker went 4-for-9 with two homers and four RBI over the final two games of the Astros' previous three-game series against the Marlins. Consider him day-to-day.

Tucker went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker now has homers in back-to-back games and in five of his last nine contests.

Overall this season, Tucker's slash line is up to .297/.377/.526 with 24 homers, 92 RBI, 69 runs scored and 24 steals across 509 plate appearances.

Tucker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker continued his August power surge by blasting his fifth home run in his last 14 games. He's hit .259 in that span while also chipping in 17 RBI and nine runs scored to go along with just an 11.3 strikeout rate. The stretch has also helped raise his OPS to .898 across 508 plate appearances on the season, which would be good for the second-best mark of his career.
