Off to slow start Tucker went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Friday's loss to the Mariners.

Impact Tucker struck out swinging twice and once looking -- the first time he's gone down on strikes on multiple occasions in a game this season. He's now hitless across his last 17 plate appearances, though that is largely due a .050 BABIP. Positively, of Tucker's three hits this season, two have gone for home runs.

Stuck in sixth spot Tucker will bat sixth for the third straight game Saturday against the Angels.

Impact It looked as though Tucker could move up in the order this season after Carlos Correa left in free agency, but manager Dusty Baker seems very committed to keeping him in the sixth spot. Leaving him there Saturday seems particularly unusual, as regulars Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel are getting the night off. Rather than having Tucker move up into one of their spots, the Astros will instead bat Niko Goodrum third and Aledmys Diaz fifth. Tucker has already homered twice this season and can still provide plenty of value from the sixth spot, but Saturday's lineup suggests it will be harder than expected for him move into a prime position.

Slugs two home runs Tucker went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 13-6 win against the Angels.

Impact Tucker started slow out of the gate but was responsible for Houston's final four runs with a three-run shot in the seventh inning and a solo blast in the ninth. The 25-year-old outfielder looks to build on an exceptional 2021 campaign as maybe the best hitter on a Houston team with high aspirations.
