Kyle Tucker - Could see mid-week returnManager Dusty Baker said Monday that Tucker (illness) is expected to return "mid to late this week," Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

ImpactTucker has been on the COVID-19 injured list since Wednesday and lost 10 pounds while battling a stomach bug despite never testing positive for the virus. He felt good after taking batting practice Sunday, and the team was optimistic that the outfielder could return during the three-game series against Baltimore. While it's not yet clear when Tucker could be activated, he still appears to be relatively close to returning.
