Tucker will likely back up Josh Reddick in right field to start the season, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
Houston manager Dusty Baker said Tucker is the future while Reddick remains the present. After a poor showing in his major league debut in 2018, Tucker showed off last September when he hit .269 with four home runs and 11 RBI, which earned him a spot on the playoff roster. If Tucker doesn't emerge as the starter in 2020, he likely will in 2021 as this season is the final one of Reddick's four-year contract.
