Astros' Kyle Tucker: Brought back to big leagues

Tucker was recalled by the Astros on Saturday, Christian Boutwell of MLB.com reports.

Tucker is up to replace Jake Marisnick, who hit the 10-day disabled list with a groin injury. The 21-year-old didn't fare well in his first taste of big-league baseball earlier this year, hitting just .156/.240/.222 in 50 plate appearances, but he's been on fire since his demotion, going 13-for-34 with three homers in eight games.
