The Astros number 5 overall pick from the 2015 draft, Kyle Tucker, has been elevated to Class AA in Corpus Christi. Tucker is hitting .288 with 9 bombs this season, and seems to be a player the Astros are reluctant to trade. He is currently ranked as the 15th overall prospect according to Baseball America, and the 30th overall prospect according to MLB.com. If the Astros make a deal for some pitching because of the injuries to Musgrove and Morton, Tucker will be one of the first players brought up by opposing teams dealing with the Astros.
