Kyle Tucker (back) scratched from Astros' lineup; Robel Garcia back in
Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker has been scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians.
What It Means:
The outfielder is dealing with back spasms, and he's subsequently been removed from Friday's series-opener. After some defensive shuffling, Robel Garcia is back in the lineup. He'll get the nod at third base while batting ninth in the order against Indians starter Sam Hentges.
In 304 plate appearances this season, Tucker has a .264 batting average with an .800 OPS, 13 home runs, 44 runs and 47 RBI.
