Kyle Tucker is trying to be patient, but with the Houston Astros turning things around he wants to be a part of it.
During pre-game on Friday Tucker repeated his rehab regimen for his right shin contusion, which he suffered earlier this month. He hit 35 balls off a tee and ran on a treadmill.But it’s also clear he’s frustrated with the progress he’s made from an injury that the Astros were hopeful, at first, wouldn’t even lead to a stint on the injured list.. "You can't do much about it. ... Hopefully, I can get out there soon.
Tucker suffered the injury on June 3 when he fouled a baseball off the shin. He didn’t suffer serious damage, per the Astros. But a few days later he needed crutches to help keep weight off the injury and Houston put him on the 10-day injured list.The injury hasn’t slowed Tucker’s chances of reaching the All-Star Game for the third straight year. He advanced out of phase one voting to put himself in contention for one of the two remaining starting spots in the outfield.
