Kyle Tucker - Page 30 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Sitting for season opener Tucker is not in the lineup for Friday's Opening Day game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Just how often Tucker starts this year remains an open question, though it's no big surprise to see him on the bench Friday against southpaw Marco Gonzales. The Astros will start a pair of veteran left-handed bats in the outfield corners (Michael Brantley and Josh Reddick), but it will be the right-handed Aledmys Diaz who serves as the designated hitter.

Impact Suffice to say, that Alvarez will not be in the Opening Day lineup and can be considered out indefinitely. He has been unable to report to camp for undisclosed reasons. Kyle Tucker and Aledmys Diaz are expected to get starts at designated hitter early in the season.

Impact Tucker, a highly regarded prospect and defensively sound outfielder, doesn't profile as a DH, but he currently doesn't have a path to consistent playing time in 2020. Josh Reddick is blocking him in right field. Tucker's first exposure to MLB in 2018 did not go well, but his second time around in 2019 was considerably better, and he feels he can handle the routine of being the DH.

Holds on to starting spot Reddick is the projected starter in right field, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Reddick appears to have held onto the job that's been his the past three years in Houston, but his hold will be subject to change. Prospect Kyle Tucker could wrest the job from Reddick, if the veteran fails to hit consistently, and playing time between the two will be fluid throughout the season. The 33-year-old Reddick, who had just one hit in 20 spring at-bats, will not have the luxury of slumps like that once the regular season kicks off.
