The Padres selected Tucker's contact from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday and subsequently placed him on the 10-day injured list with plantar fasciitis, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Tucker had an upcoming opt-out in his minor-league deal, and the foot injury will allow the Padres to add him to the big club without taking a spot on the 26-man roster. The 32-year-old has enjoyed a strong season at Triple-A El Paso with a .342/.468/.658 slash line and 10 home runs in 44 games.
