Preston Tucker

Preston Tucker back in the Braves' lineup on Monday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Preston Tucker is batting sixth on Monday against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

Tucker is back in the lineup starting in left field, and will bat sixth against Nationals ace Max Scherzer. Peter Bourjos will return to the bench. Tucker has been a pleasant surprise in the early going, slashing an impressive .370/.400/.667 with 2 home runs through 30 plate appearances. However, in the long run he will likely lose playing time whenever Ronald Acuna is called up.

numberFire projects Tucker for 8.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,200.
