Kyle Tucker goes 0-for-3 in loss to Brewers

Player Stats

After getting Saturday off, Kyle Tucker went 0-for-3 and committed a miscue in right field that led to two runs in Sunday’s loss to the Brewers.

With the Dodgers down 4-1 in the ninth, Tucker struggled with the sun on Jackson Chourio’s fly to deep right and had it go off his glove. Probably because of the sun issues, it wasn’t ruled an error, and given the score, it wasn’t particularly costly. Still, it was another brutal game for Tucker, who finished the week 0-for-19. Maybe he’ll get it together in Coors over the next three days.

The apparent day off comes against Jacob Misiorowski, which is something most hitters probably wouldn’t complain about. Tucker did well against the Cubs and D-backs last week and was trending nicely in xwOBA terms for a time, but he’s 0-for-16 versus the Royals and Brewers this week. Alex Call is stating in right field tonight.

Kyle Tucker is in right field and hitting cleanup against the Royals on Tuesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is shaking things up by moving Freddie Freeman up to the second spot in the order with Andy Pages following and Tucker in the cleanup spot. Max Muncy and Mookie Betts remain in the middle of the lineup with Teoscar Hernández on the bench.

Kyle Tucker is out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Royals.

It appears to be a matchup-based decision with lefty Noah Cameron on the hill for Kansas City. Tucker has shown some real signs of life recently, hitting .298 (14-for-47) with four homers and one steal over his last 15 games. It’ll be Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernández in the outfield corners for Los Angeles in this one.

Kyle Tucker hit a solo homer in the eighth inning to help the Dodgers to a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

It looked like Tucker was going to have the go-ahead homer, as it gave the Dodgers a 1-0 lead late in the contest. Edwin Diaz didn’t allow that to happen with another blown save, but it does come in a victory, and it does give Tucker 11 homers on the season.

Kyle Tucker hit a solo homer in a loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.

Tucker was able to silence his boos for just a moment with an opposite-field homer off Javier Assad to give the Dodgers a 1-0 lead. That would be the last run of the game for Los Angeles, as they’ve now lost five straight and weren’t able to pick up a win in Tarik Skubal’s debut. Tucker also singled to improve his slash to a still-disappointing .243/.341/.381 in his first year with Los Angeles.

Kyle Tucker homered and walked Saturday to help the Dodgers top the Mets 4-3.

Tucker homered off Nolan McLean in the third and made a bid for another in the fourth, hitting a 361-foot fly that was caught in left field. Both were barrels, so he now has 19 of them and nine homers for the season. He still hasn’t gotten hot at any point, but that his strikeout rate is down this month can’t be bad news; he’s fanned just eight times in 69 plate appearances while hitting .250/.333/.383 in July.

Kyle Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk on Friday against the Mets.

Whatever is the opposite of buyer’s remorse could probably define Tucker’s feelings as he visited Citi Field for the first time since considering signing with the Mets this past winter. His Dodgers had a very clean and easy win here aided by Tucker’s eighth inning blast that added some valuable insurance for them. It was his first home run since all the way back on June 27th as he desperately tries to pull himself out of his season-long slump.

Kyle Tucker is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Phillies.

Max Muncy is also taking a seat with Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez toeing the rubber for his second-half debut. It’s been a rocky opening season for Tucker in Los Angeles as he’s struggled to a lackluster .240/.335/.367 slash line with seven homers and six RBI across 394 plate appearances in 94 games. It’ll be a red-hot Tommy Edman at the hot corner and batting third with Alex Call getting a look in right field.

Kyle Tucker is not in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Padres.

Tucker will get a day off against left-hander J.P. Sears, as will third baseman Max Muncy. Miguel Rojas is playing third base in Muncy’s absence, while Alex Call will handle right field with Tucker out.

Kyle Tucker followed up his four-walk game Wednesday by going 4-for-4 with one walk and three runs scored Thursday against the Padres.

All of Tucker’s hits came on liners to the outfield, two hard and two soft. He’s up to .249 with a .352 OBP, both of which are his highest marks since May 24. He’ll enter Friday’s game having reached in nine straight plate appearances.

The Giants are calling up Matt Wilkinson, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

It’d be the MLB debut for the 23-year-old Wilkenson, who has a 5.15 ERA and a 43/17 K/BB in 43 2/3 innings over 10 starts since moving up to Triple-A Sacramento. It seems likely that he’ll pitch in middle relief initially, as the Giants pen is pretty worn out after Sunday’s loss to the Rockies.

Luis Peña is being promoted to Double-A Biloxi, the Brewers announced.

Peña, the reported centerpiece of the Brewers’ offer for Tarik Skubal, was hitting .298/.384/.420 with 27 steals in 51 games for High-A Wisconsin. The 19-year-old is probably looking at a move off shortstop at some point, but his offensive potential could still make him an All-Star-type player elsewhere.

JJ Bleday is out of the Reds’ starting lineup in the first game of Monday’s doubleheader.

It’s the first time he’s sat since July 29. Bleday will almost surely be back in there for game two, since even though he’s slumping — he’s hitting .146 with one RBI in 14 games this month — Terry Francona views him as the team’s one everyday outfielder. Michael Toglia is starting in left against lefty Quinn Mathews in game one.

Reds selected the contract of LHP Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Louisville.

The 34-year-old Emanuel is back in the majors for the first time since 2024 with the Marlins. He pitched in Mexico and an indy ball last year, and he joined the Reds organization out of indy ball last week, allowing one run over six innings in his lone start for Louisville. He’ll be available to go long in relief in Monday’s doubleheader if necessary.

Frelick, on the IL with a shoulder strain, is 5-for-22 with a homer and five walks since joining Nashville. He could come off the IL and replace Brandon Lockridge on the Brewers’ roster on Tuesday, but given the way he performed before landing on the IL, there’s no need for the team to make him a lineup fixture right away.
