Tucker In

The Astros just get even younger as they call up seasonal age 21 prospect Kyle Tucker:

Houston manager AJ Hinch says ”our team got better by adding him to the mix” and he plans to play Tucker every day, in left field or right field. Hinch says as the season gets into its latter stages the team needs to see what Tucker can do after his strong showing in both spring ball and the minor leagues.

Leftfield is one of the weaker offensive positions for the Astros this year, although I would not call a .252/.328/.395 slash line terrible. Tucker is tearing up AAA with a .306/.371/.520 slash line at a young age, so the Astros may improve the position a great deal.
