Kyle Tucker (COVID) back in action Wednesday for Astros
The Houston Astros activated outfielder Kyle Tucker from the COVID-19 injured list.

He will return to right field on Wednesday and hit sixth versus right-hander Thomas Eshelman and the Baltimore Orioles. Chas McCormick will be available off the bench after filling the void in left field for Houston. Garrett Stubbs was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday in a corresponding roster move.
numberFire’s models project Tucker for 13.5 FanDuel points and he has a $3,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Astros have the highest implied total (5.8 runs) in the majors on Wednesday.
