Tucker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Mets.
Tucker has hit safely in seven of his last 10 games but doesn't have a multi-hit effort in that span. He supplied an insurance run with his eighth-inning solo shot Wednesday. For the season, the outfielder is off to a bit of a slow start with a .239/.350/.343 slash line, two homers, 11 RBI, 14 runs scored and three stolen bases over 18 games. He also has a 12:17 BB:K, so he's had little trouble keeping the line moving even with the lack of hitting.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Receiving Sunday off
Rotowire
Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
It's a scheduled day off for Tucker, who has a double, a homer, two steals, five RBI and eight runs with a .281/.361/.406 slash line while starting the Dodgers' first eight games of the campaign. Alex Call is instead receiving a start in right field Sunday for Los Angeles.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Slugs first homer as Dodger
Rotowire
Tucker went 3-for-6 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 13-6 win over the Nationals.
The 29-year-old launched his first homer as a Dodger in the seventh inning, a two-out solo shot off Ken Waldichuk. Tucker is batting .241 (7-for-29) through seven games for his new club, but that comes with two steals, four RBI and six runs.
Tucker went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Tucker has settled into the No. 2 spot in the lineup, nestled between Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts. With at least 25 steals in three of the last four regular seasons and no fewer than 22 homers in any of the last five years, Tucker should bring balanced production in his first campaign with the Dodgers. He's 2-for-7 with two walks and two RBI through two games so far, and he should be a big source of counting stats in one of the most potent offenses in the majors.
Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Checks back into spring lineup
Rotowire
Tucker (personal) will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Athletics.
As expected, Tucker has rejoined the Dodgers after he was away from camp the past five days to observe the birth of his first child. The Dodgers will ease Tucker back into the mix by deploying him at DH, but he'll likely return to his usual spot in right field for his next spring start.
