Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right shin contusion after sustaining the injury during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The injury comes as Tucker is tied for second in MLB for home runs. Astros manager Joe Espada emphasized the importance of ensuring Tucker's full recovery before he returns to the team. Tucker's stint is retroactive to Tuesday, with a potential return on June 14. This adds to the Astros' challenges, with pitchers Cristian Javier and José Urquidy undergoing Tommy John surgery and slated to miss the rest of the season.
