Player Outlook
When Kyle Tucker landed on the 10-day injured list in early June, his injury was labeled a right shin contusion. It wasn't until he was on the verge of his return in September that we learned Tucker was dealing with a fracture all along. Despite missing half the season, Tucker smacked 23 homers and stole 11 bases, though he only swiped one bag in 18 regular-season games following his return. Tucker took yet another step forward with his plate skills in 2024, walking more than he struck out in 336 plate appearances. Already a three-time All-Star heading into his age-28 season, Tucker has established an incredibly high floor with his pull-heavy approach from the left side. The steals may be somewhat in question coming off the shin fracture, but Tucker has been ultra efficient on the basepaths throughout his career, stealing 94 bases in 107 attempts. Now with the Cubs following a December trade, Tucker will still be an appealing choice in the first round as he plays for a huge payday next winter.

  • Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Scuffling in early going

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Monday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks and is now 0-for-12 this spring. Chicago's key offseason acquisition is off to a slow start, though it shouldn't have any impact on his role with the team. Tucker figures to start in right field most days and bat in the heart of the Cubs' lineup. The 28-year-old is also playing on a one-year deal, so he will be under pressure to produce in his final year before free agency.

  • Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Extension seems unlikely

    Rotowire
    Tucker, who was traded to the Cubs in December, seems unlikely to sign a long-term deal with the team during the season and could enter free agency after the year, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports. Chicago traded Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski and prospect Cam Smith for Tucker, but it could end being only a one-year relationship. Mooney notes that the Cubs' failed pursuit of Tucker's former Houston teammate Alex Bregman could signal the team's financial constraints this year and next. While Chicago may still attempt to sign Tucker in free agency, the talented outfielder will likely be able to attract richer offers. That makes 2025 essentially an audition year for Tucker, who was limited to 78 games with the Astros last year due to injury but still managed 23 home runs and a robust .993 OPS.

  • Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Avoids arbitration with new club

    Rotowire
    Tucker agreed to a one-year, $16.5 million contract with the Cubs on Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports. Tucker and the Cubs weren't able to agree on a deal prior to the arbitration deadline last week, but a few extra days of negotiation have resulted in the slugging outfielder receiving a $4.5 million raise from last season and $1.5 million more than the Cubs had filed for. Injuries limited him to just 78 games last season, but he was as efficient as ever when healthy, slashing .289/.408/.585 with 23 homers, 49 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 336 plate appearances. Tucker is slated to become a free agent next offseason, but the Cubs will likely attempt to sign him to a long-term deal during the season.

  • Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Joins Cubs via trade

    Rotowire
    The Cubs acquired Tucker from the Astros on Friday in exchange for Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski and Cam Smith, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Whispers of Tucker being available surfaced just a few days ago, and a deal came together quickly. Tucker has blossomed into one of the game's best players, slashing .289/.408/.585 during an injury-shortened 2024 regular season. He will turn 28 in January and is slated to reach free agency next winter, but given the price they paid to acquire him, the Cubs will presumably attempt to lock him up with a long-term contract extension.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Late scratch due to rain

    Rotowire
    Tucker was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Guardians while it was in a rain delay, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. The game had been delayed for almost an hour when the team submitted a new lineup without Tucker, Jose Altuve or Alex Bregman, as the Astros opted to not risk one of their veterans getting injured in subpar conditions ahead of the playoffs.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Absent from Wednesday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Tucker is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Tucker is one of the regulars getting a day off after the Astros clinched the American League West title Tuesday. Jason Heyward will play right field and bat sixth Wednesday.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Pops homer in win

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Mariners. Tucker has gone 13-for-34 (.382) with four homers, six RBI, nine runs and seven walks over his last 10 games. The outfielder helped erase a two-run deficit Tuesday with his fourth-inning blast. Tucker's counting stats are down after he missed three months with a shin injury, but he's still been productive with 23 homers, 48 RBI, 55 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a .281/.405/.588 slash line over 76 contests this season.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Posts second straight four-hit game

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk and two total RBI in a 10-4 victory versus the Angels on Saturday. Tucker kicked off the scoring in the contest with an RBI double in the first inning and added a solo homer in the seventh. The outfielder has tormented Los Angeles over the past two games, going 8-for-9 with a pair of homers and three RBI. Since returning Sept. 6 from a lengthy stay on the injured list, Tucker is batting .405 (17-for-42) with three home runs, seven RBI, 11 runs and a stolen base over 13 contests.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Four hits in Friday's win

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 9-7 win over the Angels. His sixth-inning blast off Roansy Contreras wrapped up the scoring for the Astros on the night. Tucker has been doing his best to make up for lost time since coming off the IL in early September, and over 12 games since his activation he's slashing .342/.447/.526 with two homers, five RBI and 10 runs.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Taking seat Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Tucker is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres. The Astros continue to manage Tucker's workload carefully coming off an extended absence due to a shin fracture. Since returning from the injured list Sept. 6, Tucker has bowed out of the lineup four times in 12 games. The reins on Tucker gradually appear to be loosening, however, as he started in right field each of the past three days after previously being limited to designated-hitter duties in four of his first five starts upon returning from the IL.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Swipes bag

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal, an RBI and a run in Tuesday's win over the Padres. Tucker was one of two Astros to have multiple hits on the night and his second hit was a big one, as he drove in what would end up being the game-winning run with a single in the top of the 10th. While Tucker started out 1-for-10 over his first three games after returning from a fractured shin Sept. 6, he has since gone 8-for-21 with three RBI and five runs scored over the last seven games while also swiping his first base since coming back.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Slugs pinch-hit homer

    Rotowire
    Tucker hit a solo home run in his only plate appearance Saturday against the Angels. The Astros continue to keep Tucker's workload in check, as he sat for the third time in eight contests since being activated from the injured list. However, he entered Saturday's contest in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and homered for the first time since returning from his shin injury. Houston is slowly ramping Tucker back into defensive work in the outfield, so he could continue getting more days off than usual.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Sitting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tucker is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels. Tucker went 1-for-4 with one walk and one run scored in the Asros' 5-3 win over the Angels on Friday. The 27-year-old will continue to be slowly brought back into regular action after he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week. Ben Gamel will start in right field and bat eighth.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Expected back in outfield Friday

    Rotowire
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that he plans to have Tucker back in right field for Friday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. All four of Tucker's starts since he was activated from the 60-day injured list last week have come from the designated hitter spot, but his return to his familiar position in right field is imminent. Tucker is 2-for-11 with two RBI over 16 plate appearances since rejoining the Astros' lineup.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Day off Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Tucker is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports. The Astros are being extra careful with Tucker after he returned Friday following a lengthy stint on the injured list. He'll be getting his second day off in five contests, with all three of his starts thus far having come as the Astros' designated hitter.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: First hit since return

    Rotowire
    Tucker went 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored Monday against the Diamondbacks. Tucker was activated from the injured list Friday after a three-month absence and has started at DH in two of three games since. He reached base three times -- once on catcher's interference -- with a single coming in the ninth inning. Tucker will likely take some time to shake off rust and is also likely to get maintenance days down the stretch as the Astros turn their focus to the postseason.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Idle Saturday

    Rotowire
    Tucker isn't in Houston's lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Tucker went 0-for-2 with a walk and a HBP on Friday in what was his first game in over three months, and he'll now take a seat Saturday as the Astros ease him back into big-league action. Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers and Ben Gamel will act as Houston's outfield trio while Tucker rests.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Back as DH on Friday

    Rotowire
    Tucker (shin) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday and is batting fourth as the designated hitter against the Diamondbacks. Make sure to get Tucker into daily and weekend lineups. The 27-year-old missed just over three months after suffering a fractured shin June 3 that was originally reported to be a contusion.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Hoping to be activated Friday

    Rotowire
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that the hope is Tucker (shin) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Tucker is with the team in Cincinnati and has been going through pregame workouts. The Astros are gauging how he bounces back from those workouts before determining whether he's ready to return to the active roster. Barring a surprise, it sounds like Tucker should finally be back this weekend. He's been shelved since early June with a right shin fracture.

  • Astros' Kyle Tucker: Not expected back Thursday

    Rotowire
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that it's "unlikely" Tucker (shin) will be activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday, though the skipper didn't fully rule it out as a possibility, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. GM Dana Brown indicated over the weekend that Tucker could be back from the injured list at some point this week, and Tucker continues to be evaluated day-by-day. The 27-year-old hasn't seen game action since early June with what was initially labeled a bone bruise, but the injury was recently revealed to have been a shin fracture.
