Tucker went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, a walk and a second run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over the Nationals.
Tucker ended a 22-game power drought with his sixth-inning blast. During that stretch, he hit just .132 (10-for-76) with two doubles, one triple and five RBI. Inconsistency has been a theme for Tucker throughout much of the campaign, but he continues to hold down a starting role in right field. He's batting .226 with a .686 OPS, 12 homers, 59 RBI, 73 runs scored, 20 doubles, three triples and 10 stolen bases over 133 contests.

Rotowire
Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-6, extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.
Tucker has gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, but he has three steals and an 8:3 BB:K in that span. The outfielder is up to 10 steals on the year, though that's a slight disappointment for a player who had logged at least 25 steals in three of the previous four campaigns. He's batting just .227 with a .679 OPS, 11 home runs, 58 RBI, 71 runs scored, 20 doubles and three triples over 131 contests in his first year with the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Exiting lineup against lefty
Rotowire
Tucker is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Atlanta.
Tucker is 1-for-9 at the plate in the first two games of the series and is sporting a lowly .575 OPS in August, so it's not surprising that he'll exit the lineup as Atlanta sends Chris Sale to the mound. Alex Call is in right field and will bat seventh for the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Reaches double-digit homers
Rotowire
Tucker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cubs on Tuesday.
Tucker collected half of the Dodgers' four hits and accounted for the team's only run with a second-inning solo blast, his 10th of the campaign. The veteran outfielder has come to life over the first two games of the series against his former club, going 4-for-6 to match the number of hits he had collected across his previous eight contests combined. Tucker remains in the lineup for Wednesday's early matchup, batting fifth and starting in right field.
Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mets.

He's gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to nine long balls on the year. The outfielder is batting .241 with a .715 OPS, 51 RBI, 56 runs scored, six stolen bases, 18 doubles and two triples across 98 contests.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Ends homer drought in win
Rotowire
Tucker went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Tucker gave the Dodgers some insurance with a two-run blast in the eighth inning, his first homer since June 27. It was a much-needed boost for the 29-year-old, who entered Friday's contest just 2-for-19 since returning from the All-Star break. On the year, he's slashing .240/.333/.371 with eight homers, 50 RBI, 55 runs scored and six steals across 405 plate appearances.
Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Excluded from starting nine Monday
Rotowire
Tucker is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Tucker will head to the bench for the first time in the second half after he went 2-for-13 with two strikeouts in the Dodgers' three-game series against the Yankees over the weekend. Alex Call will draw the start in right field in place of Tucker, who has thus far maintained good health during his first season in Los Angeles but has produced a disappointing .702 OPS, by far the lowest mark of his career since his abbreviated 28-game rookie campaign with the Astros in 2018.
Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.
After missing a few games in late June due to back spasms, Tucker started the last nine contests and posted a .940 OPS with a double, a homer, five RBI and seven runs during that span. Alex Call is picking up a start in right field Sunday for the Dodgers.
