Rotowire
Tucker left Monday's game against the Twins with an apparent core injury, Chad Moriyama of Dodgers Digest reports.
Alex Call replaced Tucker in the game. Tucker's nightmare debut with the Dodgers continues. He entered Monday's play hitting just .234/.331/.374 and had a horrible weekend against the Orioles, striking out to end one game, and dropping to seventh in the order in another.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Clubs three-run homer in win
Rotowire
Tucker went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 4-3 win against Tampa Bay on Monday.
The Dodgers fell behind 3-0 early before Tucker gave his team a big boost with a game-tying three-run blast in the second inning. It was only the second time the veteran outfielder has gone deep at home this season, and he has hit just six homers overall through 69 games. Tucker has been largely a disappointment so far in his first campaign in Los Angeles, though his 43 runs, 39 RBI and six stolen bases are at least providing some value to fantasy managers.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Opens scoring with homer
Rotowire
Tucker went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Tucker put a 24-game power drought to rest with the second-inning blast, which was all the offense the Dodgers needed to get the win. During that span, the outfielder hit just .222 and slugged .370, adding eight doubles, two triples and nine RBI. Tucker's first year with the Dodger has been mediocre so far -- he's batting .243 with a .739 OPS, five homers, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases over 59 contests. He hasn't hit under .250 or posted an OPS under .800 in any full-length season in his career, so there's still some hope he'll be able to turn things around.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Strong performance in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Tucker went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-1 win over the Angels.
After getting the day off Saturday, Tucker was a major contributor Sunday, leading the Dodgers with three RBI in a blowout victory. The right fielder's early-season numbers haven't quite lived up to the lofty standards that came with the four-year, $240 million contract he signed during the offseason, though the 29-year-old has been heating up with a .910 OPS over his past 15 games. Overall, Tucker is slashing .259/.356/.410 with four homers, 13 doubles, 23 RBI, 32 runs and three stolen bases across 45 contests.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Getting breather Saturday
Rotowire
Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.
Tucker will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's contest after going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the series opener Friday. Alex Call will fill in as Los Angeles' right fielder and bat eighth.
Tucker went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-3 victory over the Astros.
Tucker opened the third inning with a bang, crushing a Ryan Weiss fastball over the right-field fence for a solo homer. It marked the outfielder's fourth long ball of the season and first since April 18, snapping a 13-game drought. Through 34 games in his first season with the Dodgers, Tucker is hitting a modest .242/.325/.386, though he has still been a solid run producer with 18 RBI, good for third on the club, while his 24 runs are tied for the team lead with Max Muncy.
Tucker went 1-for-5 with a walk-off two-RBI single in Monday's win over the Marlins.
Tucker's lone hit proved decisive, as his two-RBI single in the ninth inning delivered a walk-off win for the Dodgers. After posting an .841 OPS across 136 regular-season games with the Cubs in 2025, the 29-year-old is off to a relatively slow start in 2026. Through 28 games, Tucker is slashing a modest .236/.320/.364 with three homers, five doubles, 15 RBI, 20 runs and three stolen bases. He has not homered in his last eight contests.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Thursday's game that Tucker will shift to the cleanup spot in the batting order, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Tucker had been locked into the two spot before he collected a pair of hits while batting fourth Thursday against the Giants. The 29-year-old's tenure with the Dodgers has gotten off to a slow start, but Roberts is hoping a new lineup spot will jumpstart the free-agent signing. Tucker should have plenty of RBI opportunities while hitting behind Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and eventually Mookie Betts (oblique).
Vodnik picked up the save Saturday against the Dodgers, giving up no runs on two hits and no walks in the ninth inning.
Vodnik did make things interesting, allowing the possible tying and go-ahead runs to reach base, but he got Kyle Tucker to fly out to wrap up an upset victory. The last-place Rockies figure to be near the bottom of the standings in 2026, but Vodnik appears to be the club's clear-cut closer at this time. Through nine frames, the right-hander has a 2.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 5:4 K:BB while converting three of his four save opportunities.
