Kyle Tucker, who looks like he just walked in from the library and wants to watch TV but his roommate is having people over, homered again. pic.twitter.com/JTg5reVE4K Razzball (@Razzball) May 18, 2022 That photo of him brings me so much joy. He's like, "I'm on your fantasy team? Okay, cool." He looks like he just let out a fart, and only he knows it. Using one of his three asses, I presume. This Kyle Tucker assault was brought to you initially by Nathan Eovaldi (1 2/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 4.32) as he gave up five homers, all in the 2nd inning. Apparently, Manfred tried to work the 2019 ball back into circulation. Also, in this game, not simply Eovaldi -- Nothan? Novaldi? Meh, maybe now's not the time for portmanteaus -- Yordan Alvarez (2-for-4, 3 runs) hit his 12th homer. Captain Woo Cubano gonna star in Dongs Just Wanna Have Fun; Yuli Gurriel (2-for-5, 3 runs, 2 RBIs) hit his 3rd, and 3rd homer in the last five days for the smoldering schmotato; Jeremy Pena (2-for-5) hit his 7th for a nice welcome-back-old-friend to the lineup and to the New England area (he's from Are-Eye); Michael Brantley (2-for-5, 3 RBIs) hit his 3rd homer, and I just thought of something, everyone on the Astros is better than that former Astros player Carlos Correa. Bummer for him! Anyway, here s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

The San Francisco Giants traded infielder/outfielder Mauricio Dubon to the Houston Astros for minor-league catcher Michael Papierski on Saturday.Dubon was off to a slow start for the Giants, slashing .239/.245/.391 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 49 plate appearances.Houston acquires a versatile defender in Dubon, who could slot into the Astros' lineup immediately with infielders Jose Altuve and Jeremy Pena both hampered by mild injuries.The 27-year-old failed to live up to high expectations after San Francisco acquired him from the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019 for pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black.The Honduran hit .259/.302/.396 with an 89 OPS+ across parts of four seasons in the Bay Area.Papierski, 26, has never appeared in the big leagues. The 2017 ninth-round draft choice posted a .211/.324/.278 line with one homer and 15 RBIs in 26 games for Triple-A Sugar Land this season. Mike Papierski was well-liked by a lot of people in the Astros' organization. He once let Alex Bregman live on his couch when they played together at LSU. Very good defender.
