Kyle Tucker Dropped To Sixth Spot Amid Slump

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker hasn't done much this postseason and has now been dropped to sixth in the batting order against right-hander Max Scherzer and the Texas Rangers for Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday evening. With Tucker moving down, veteran outfielder Michael Brantley, who is starting in left field, will move up to the two-hole behind leadoff man Jose Altuve. Tucker has gone hitless in eight at-bats in the first two games of the ALCS and has gone just 2-for-22 (.091) with a double, RBI, seven strikeouts and two runs scored in six playoff games this year. The 26-year-old lefty slugger will try to snap out of his funk against a future Hall of Famer, albeit one coming off a shoulder injury who hasn't pitched since mid-September. Tucker is 1-for-6 with an RBI, two walks and three K's in his career against Scherzer.

Kyle Tucker Could Be Moved Down The Batting Order

Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker said on Tuesday that he's considering moving outfielder Kyle Tucker down in the batting order as a "temporary" measure. "They're terrible. I feel fine, just my swing is not there. I haven't done anything with any of the pitches. It's been tough," Tucker said about his playoff at-bats. Tucker is struggling mightily in this year's postseason, having gone 2-for-22 (.091) with a double, RBI, three walks, seven strikeouts and two runs scored in six games to this point. The Astros can't afford to fall behind any further after dropping the first two games of the seven-game series to the Texas Rangers. Expect to see Tucker hitting in the bottom half of Houston's lineup for Game 3 of the ALCS on Wednesday against the Rangers and right-hander Max Scherzer, who Tucker has gone 1-for-6 with an RBI and three K's against in his career.
