Astros' Kyle Tucker: Lands on MiLB DL with back issue

Tucker was placed on the disabled list at Double-A Corpus Christi with a back injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

This likely explains why he was removed from Saturday's contest early. It's unclear how severe the injury is, so it's tough to estimate a timetable for his return, but the earliest he can return is July 23. Prior to the injury, Tucker was slashing .301/.360/.548 in 36 games with the Hooks.
