Houston's Kyle Tucker, Arizona's Ketel Marte reinstated from IL before start of series
HOUSTON — Houston and Arizona got an All-Star back from injury Friday before the start of a three-game series, with right fielder Kyle Tucker returning for the Astros and second baseman Ketel Marte coming off the injured list for the Diamondbacks.
Tucker has been out since fracturing his right shin with a foul ball on June 3. He still isn’t 100% and was in the lineup at designated hitter Friday night before the Astros have him play defense.
“It’s just kind of day to day to see how he feels,” Houston manager Joe Espada said. “But it’s not going to be like pencil him in days in a row, we’re just going to have to wait and see how he feels.”
Espada was asked what he expects from Tucker when he does play right field.
“Defensively we don’t know yet until he goes out there, but running you’ll see 75-80%,” he said.
Tucker was off to a great start before his injury and had 11 doubles, 19 homers and 40 RBIs in 60 games.
Marte, also in the lineup Friday at designated hitter, had a much shorter stint on the injured list. He has been out since spraining his left ankle Aug. 18.
“He’s looking great and we’re really excited about how hard he worked to make this day happen,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “He’s one of the best players in the National League, so getting him in this clubhouse, in this dugout, in this lineup is good for all of us, including him. And I know he’s excited to be back.”
Lovullo has said that Marte will get some time at designated hitter before he returns to second base.
Marte was batting .298 with 30 homers and 81 RBIs before his injury.
Outfielder Jorge Barrosa was optioned to Triple-A Reno Thursday to make room for Marte on the roster.
Houston optioned infielder Zach Dezenzo to Triple-A Sugar Land and designated left-hander Parker Mushinski for assignment Friday when Tucker was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

The Washington Huskies saw one of their few remaining uncommitted targets in the 2027 class go elsewhere on Thursday afternoon when three-star cornerback Evan Mack announced his commitment to Jedd Fisch’s former program, the Arizona Wildcats.
The 6-foot-3, 175-pound product of Crean Lutheran High School in Southern California chose coach Brent Brennan’s team out of a final three that also included the Huskies and Arizona State, after official visits to all three programs.
After taking an unofficial visit to Seattle for spring practice in April, Mack took his first official visit, a trip to Arizona State, on May 1. Then, he returned to Montlake on June 5, before wrapping things up in Tucson on June 19, which made enough of an impact for the Wildcats to win the battle for his services.
As a junior, the nation’s No. 613 overall prospect and No. 64 cornerback, according to the 247Sports Composite, tallied 49 tackles, 10 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions, while showcasing the promising athleticism and ball skills that secondary coach John Richardson is looking for on the outside.
If he were to have chosen the Huskies, Mack, who has plenty of room to add weight to his frame for the physicality of the Big Ten, would’ve had a long route to the field. Behind projected starters Dylan Robinson and Emmanuel Karnley, who both have eligibility to return in 2027, Washington’s coaching staff is expecting a contribution from four-star freshman Rahsjon Duncan on the outside, while his classmate Jeron Jones and sophomore Elias Johnson both stood out during spring practice.
The Huskies currently have one commit at cornerback in three-star Maurice Williams; however, the Huskies also hold several projections to reel in coveted four-star IMG Academy product Censere Gaylord.
