Astros' Kyle Tucker: Taking seat Wednesday
Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
The Astros continue to manage Tucker's workload carefully coming off an extended absence due to a shin fracture. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 6, Tucker has bowed out of the lineup four times in 12 games. The reins on Tucker gradually appear to be loosening, however, as he started in right field each of the past three days after previously being limited to designated-hitter duties in four of his first five starts upon returning from the IL.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Swipes bag
Tucker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal, an RBI and a run in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
Tucker was one of two Astros to have multiple hits on the night and his second hit was a big one, as he drove in what would end up being the game-winning run with a single in the top of the 10th. While Tucker started out 1-for-10 over his first three games after returning from a fractured shin Sept. 6, he has since gone 8-for-21 with three RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games while also swiping his first base since coming back.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Slugs pinch-hit homer
Tucker hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance Saturday against the Angels.
The Astros continue to keep Tucker's workload in check, as he sat for the third time in eight contests since being activated from the injured list. However, he entered Saturday's contest in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and homered for the first time since returning from his shin injury. Houston is slowly ramping Tucker back into defensive work in the outfield, so he could continue getting more days off than usual.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Sitting Saturday
Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Tucker went 1-for-4 with one walk and one run scored in the Asros' 5-3 win over the Angels on Friday. The 27-year-old will continue to be slowly brought back into regular action after he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week. Ben Gamel will start in right field and bat eighth.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Expected back in outfield Friday
Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that he plans to have Tucker back in right field for Friday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
All four of Tucker's starts since he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week have come from the designated hitter spot, but his return to his familiar position in right field is imminent. Tucker is 2-for-11 with two RBI over 16 plate appearances since rejoining the Astros' lineup.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Day off Wednesday
Tucker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
The Astros are being extra careful with Tucker after he returned Friday following a lengthy stint on the injured list. He'll be getting his second day off in five contests, with all three of his starts thus far having come as the Astros' designated hitter.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: First hit since return
Tucker went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Diamondbacks.
Tucker was activated from the injured list Friday after a three-month absence and has started at DH in two of three games since. He reached base three times -- once on catcher's interference -- with a single coming in the ninth inning. Tucker will likely take some time to shake off rust and is also likely to get maintenance days down the stretch as the Astros turn their focus to the postseason.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Idle Saturday
Tucker isn't in Houston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Tucker went 0-for-2 with a walk and a HBP on Friday in what was his first game in over three months, and he'll now take a seat Saturday as the Astros ease him back into big-league action. Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers and Ben Gamel will act as Houston's outfield trio while Tucker rests.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Hoping to be activated Friday
Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that the hope is Tucker (shin) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Tucker is with the team in Cincinnati and has been going through pregame workouts. The Astros are gauging how he bounces back from those workouts before determining whether he's ready to return to the active roster. Barring a surprise, it sounds like Tucker should finally be back this weekend. He's been shelved since early June with a right shin fracture.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Not expected back Thursday
Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Tucker (shin) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, though the skipper didn't fully rule it out as a possibility, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
GM Dana Brown indicated over the weekend that Tucker could be back from the injured list at some point this week, and Tucker continues to be evaluated day-by-day. The 27-year-old hasn't seen game action since early June with what was initially labeled a bone bruise, but the injury was recently revealed to have been a shin fracture.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Recovering from shin fracture
The shin issue that has kept Tucker out since early June is a fracture, not the "deep bruise of the bone" or "shin contusion" that the Astros had previously termed the injury, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Even as recently as Saturday, general manager Dana Brown said the outfielder did not suffer a fracture, but Brown reversed his stance Monday, conceding that the Astros "suspect there was some type of small fracture." While the fracture explains why Tucker has taken far longer to recover from the injury than anticipated, the revelation fortunately doesn't alter his timetable for a return from the 60-day injured list. He's expected to be activated this week, perhaps as soon as Wednesday.

Astros' Kyle Tucker: Runs bases, homers twice in live BP
Manager Joe Espada told Sportstalk 790 Houston that Tucker (shin) ran the bases and took live batting practice Saturday.
Espada noted that Tucker hit two home runs in live BP and said the outfielder is "getting close" to a return from the 60-day injured list. Tucker cleared a major hurdle by running the bases -- typically one of the final steps before a player is cleared to return to a game setting. Sidelined since early June with a deep bruise of his right shin, Tucker suggested Friday that he's eyeing a return during the team's next homestand, which begins Friday.
