Astros' Kyle Tucker: Dealing with illness

Tucker was removed from Thursday's lineup against the Guardians due to an illness, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Tucker was scratched from the lineup a few hours before the start of Thursday's matchup, and Aledmys Diaz joined the lineup as the starting left fielder. Manager Dusty Baker hopes that Tucker will be able to return to the lineup as early as Friday against Cleveland, so the outfielder should be considered day-to-day, according to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle.
