Dodgers Announce Tucker Decision

Via Underdog MLB: “Dodgers 6/7 S. Ohtani DH F. Freeman 1B K. Tucker RF M. Muncy 3B A. Call CF D. Rushing C R. Ward LF M. Rojas SS A. Freeland 2B E. Sheehan SP”
S. Ohtani DH F. Freeman 1B K. Tucker RF M. Muncy 3B A. Call CF D. Rushing C R. Ward LF M. Rojas SS A. Freeland 2B
E. Sheehan SP
Tucker is back in the lineup on Sunday.
He is also hitting 3rd for just the second time this season.
The four-time MLB All-Star is currently batting .240 with 54 hits, five home runs, 29 RBI’s, 38 runs and four stolen bases in 61 games.
Looking At Tucker
Tucker had been seen as a massive addition to the Dodgers (who have won back-to-back titles).
That said, he has not looked like an All-Star this year.
The 29-year-old is coming off stints with the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs.
The Dodgers wrote (via X) on January 21: “The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker to a four-year contract for $240 million. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers designated outfielder Michael Siani for assignment.”
As recently as June 3, Tucker showed positive signs when he had three hits (including one home run) and two RBI’s.
He is in his ninth MLB season.
Dodgers Right Now
The Dodgers come into the day with a 42-23 record in 65 games, which has them at the top of the National League West.
They have won seven out of their last ten games (and are 22-11 in 33 games at home).
