Rotowire

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Ends homer drought in win
Rotowire
Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Tucker gave the Dodgers some insurance with a two-run blast in the eighth inning, his first homer since June 27. It was a much-needed boost for the 29-year-old, who entered Friday's contest just 2-for-19 since returning from the All-Star break. On the year, he's slashing .240/.333/.371 with eight homers, 50 RBI, 55 runs scored and six steals across 405 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Excluded from starting nine Monday
Rotowire
Tucker is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Tucker will head to the bench for the first time in the second half after he went 2-for-13 with two strikeouts in the Dodgers' three-game series against the Yankees over the weekend. Alex Call will draw the start in right field in place of Tucker, who has thus far maintained good health during his first season in Los Angeles but has produced a disappointing .702 OPS, by far the lowest mark of his career since his abbreviated 28-game rookie campaign with the Astros in 2018.
Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
After missing a few games in late June due to back spasms, Tucker started the last nine contests and posted a .940 OPS with a double, a homer, five RBI and seven runs during that span. Alex Call is picking up a start in right field Sunday for the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Perfect at plate again Thursday
Rotowire
Tucker went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in a 12-7 win against the Padres on Thursday.
Tucker had an unconventional line against the Athletics on Wednesday, when he walked in all four of his plate appearances. The veteran outfielder reached base in each of his trips to the plate again Thursday, though this time he put up a more fantasy-friendly line with a season-high four hits. Tucker has gotten on base in nine straight plate appearances, improving his season OPS from .714 to .743 in just two days. He's still been a disappointment overall from a fantasy perspective given his typically lofty acquisition cost, but Tucker has found his groove at the plate over the past six games, going 10-for-21 with seven walks, a double, a homer, five RBI and six runs.

Rotowire

Tucker hasn't played since Monday due to back spasms, but he now seems to be feeling better following a few days of rest.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Remaining out of lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Tucker (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts already said prior to Tuesday's 12-3 win that Tucker's back issue would keep him out for the remainder of the series with Minnesota, so it's not surprising that the outfielder is on the bench for Wednesday's finale. Alex Call will draw the start in right field in place of Tucker, who is expected to take part in baseball activities prior to Wednesday's contest. If Tucker responds well to the workout, he could draw back into the lineup during the Dodgers' series in San Diego, which begins Friday.
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Tucker (back) will likely remain out for the remainder of the team's series against the Twins, Dylan Hernandez of the California Post reports.
Tucker was pulled from Monday's contest due to lower-back spasms, and although the Dodgers are still optimistic he won't require a stint on the injured list, it sounds like his next opportunity to join the starting nine will come Friday in San Diego. Alex Call is set to start in right field Tuesday and could continue to do so until Tucker is cleared to return.
