Kyle Tucker News
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 1-for-3 with two walks and a solo home run in the Astros' 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Friday. The solo shot marks his 12th home run of the season (most in the league) and his fourth in his last five games. The lefty has now raised his OPS to .965 on the season, leading the Astros as they work to make their way out of the cellar of the American League West. Tucker will have a tough matchup on Saturday night against Tigers ace and early AL Cy Young candidate Tarik Skubal.
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker hit a 422-foot home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians, a solo shot in the seventh inning off of Guardians starter Triston McKenzie. It was the lefty's eighth home run of the year and third in his past four games. It also extended his hitting streak to seven games and he's hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 16-for-44 (.364) over the 12-game stretch while raising his season batting average to .298. The 2x All-Star has also walked more than he's struck out this season, with 21 walks to 20 strikeouts. It seems his early-season discrepancy between BA and xBA is starting to even out with the 27-year-old making another push for an All-Star selection and possibly an MVP-caliber season.
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker homered twice in Friday's 12-8 loss to the Rangers. The lefty was 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs scored, and a walk. He now has four home runs on the season, with his other two home runs coming in a single game back on April 1. It has been somewhat of a mixed bag to start the year for Tucker, having seven multi-hit games over his first 15, but also six games without a hit, resulting in a modest .258 average. His xBA checks in at .341 though, so perhaps he's been a little unlucky and this is the beginning of some more consistent hitting for the 2x All-Star. The lefty has also stolen just one base thus far, and fantasy managers who took him with a first-round draft selection are hoping the pace picks up there as well.

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker finished just one HR shy of a 30/30 season in 2023, and he should make another run at the feat in 2024. Even if he doesn't quite get there, King Tuck will be a top fantasy asset again. Last season, the 26-year-old had a .284-29-112-97-30 line with a .372 WOBA and 140 wRC+. He'll go into the 2024 campaign at the age of 27, and a special season could be in store if some trends continue. Since 2019, the former first-round pick has increased his BB% and lowered his K%, increased his Contact%, lowered his SwStr%, and added to his stolen base total each year. Tucker's NFBC ADP sits at 7, right where RotoBaller also has him ranked. The left-handed, no-batting-glove-wearing hitter finished fifth in AL MVP voting in 2023, yet his FGDC projections look even a bit more promising for 2024: .286-34-110-103-26 with a WOBA of .377 and wRC+ 142. The sky-high ADP might be hard to outperform, but he'll help guide managers to the fantasy throne nonetheless, and an AL MVP-caliber season is not out of the question, maybe even likely.
