Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is 7-for-17 over his last four games heading into the team's series against the Mariners in Seattle Monday night. Tucker is having a fantastic second half of his season, slashing .301/.357/.573 with 13 extra-base hits, 14 runs scored and 22 runs batted in through 29 games since the All-Star break. The 24-year-old struggled when he first got the big leagues but has quickly emerged as a dynamic run producer and is posting a .840 OPS with runners in scoring position. For the season, Tucker is now second on the team in RBI's (71) and is hitting .319 in the month of August.

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 2-for-5 in the team's 6-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday. Tucker has been sidelined since August 14 after being placed on the COVID-reserve list.

Tucker returns to a suddenly crowded outfield that includes the white-hot Aledmys Diaz, veteran stalwart Michael Brantley and talented phenom Jake Meyers. But fantasy managers can rest easy that Tucker should see everyday at-bats moving forward and is second on the team with 71 runs batted in this season.

Tucker was placed on the injured list last week due to health and safety protocols.
