2023 Fantasy Outlook
Tucker broke out during the shortened 2020 campaign with an .837 OPS and has established himself as a key cog in the Astros' lineup over the past couple years. During 2022 he hit exactly 30 home runs for the second straight season and also stole 25 bases while being caught only four times in 150 games. He saw his batting average and ISO drop about 40 points each to .257 and .221, respectively, but he showed minor improvements in both his strikeout (15.7 percent) and walk rates (9.8 percent). Tucker's solid defense in right field further cements his spot in the everyday lineup, and his 129 wRC+ in the heart of Houston's potent order will continue to provide ample opportunities to rack up counting stats during his age-26 season in 2023.

Ankle injury considered minor
Astros general manager Dana Brown said Wednesday that Tucker's ankle sprain is considered minor, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Tucker tweaked his ankle while playing for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, but he was examined by Astros personnel at their spring training complex Wednesday and doesn't appear to be at much risk of missing Opening Day. It's not clear if he'll be able to play in any of the Astros' remaining four Grapefruit League games, however.

Tucker flourished in his first season as a regular as he not only matched the performance from his first three partial seasons, he took it to the next level. Fewer strikeouts and more walks drove the improvement as Tucker was more aggressive swinging within the zone while also increasing contact. Additionally, Tucker simultaneously hit more flyballs while increasing his average exit velocity on flyballs, fueling his increase in power. Tucker continued to be an efficient base stealer, getting caught just twice in 16 attempts. He has 20-steal upside if the Astros let him run more. Tucker batted sixth or lower in 100 of 140 games, so more opportunities could follow if he hits higher this season. Most of the games Tucker missed were from two stints on the COVID-19 list. With 10 defensive runs saved, Tucker thrives with the glove as well. Tucker is a burgeoning fantasy stud with five-category potential.
