Preston Tucker solid at plate in Friday loss

Batting cleanup during Friday evening's 6-4 extra innings loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Preston Tucker went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. He also tallied a line out and a fly out collectively in the game. Tucker has had his average bump up to .270 on the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Perhaps the uncertainty of the Gomez acquisition was enough to make Tucker fight for his outfield job. His impressive past outing made it clear how much he deserves to remain an Astro for the foreseeable future. The talented young outfielder is on pace to keep this hitting streak going, and will only get better in the coming months left of the season. Fantasy holders should keep a close eye on Tucker, and invest if the opportunity comes around.
