Taking seat Sunday
Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

Perfect at plate again Thursday
Tucker went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in a 12-7 win against the Padres on Thursday.
Analysis
Tucker had an unconventional line against the Athletics on Wednesday, when he walked in all four of his plate appearances. The veteran outfielder reached base in each of his trips to the plate again Thursday, though this time he put up a more fantasy-friendly line with a season-high four hits. Tucker has gotten on base in nine straight plate appearances, improving his season OPS from .714 to .743 in just two days. He's still been a disappointment overall from a fantasy perspective given his typically lofty acquisition cost, but Tucker has found his groove at the plate over the past six games, going 10-for-21 with seven walks, a double, a homer, five RBI and six runs.
