Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker gave the fanbase a big scare on Monday night when he injured himself fouling a ball off his right shin. Tucker was forced to leave the game and was seen on crutches following the club's win over the Cardinals.

Tucker said the X-rays came back negative, and he would receive further evaluation from doctors on Tuesday, per The Athletic's Chandler Rome.

Astros manager Joe Espada gave an update on Tucker Tuesday afternoon on the club's flagship station.

Tucker is considered “day to day” and will not be playing in Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals. It's good news for the Astros that Tucker hasn't already been placed on the Injured List. But clearly they're not out of the woods yet. Tucker is still being evaluated.

Houston was clearly preparing to be without Tuck for at least a game or two, as they called up outfielder Trey Cabbage and sent down infielder Grae Kessinger.

Cabbage gives the Astros another outfielder and a left-handed bat off the bench should the club need to pinch hit. Plus, Cabbage has speed should the team need to pinch run. He provides plenty of athleticism should Espada need it on the base paths, as Jose Abreu and Jon Singleton are station to station players.

Cabbage has 14 at-bats with the Astros this year, with 3 hits and 3 RBIs.

Mauricio Dubon is starting in right field for Tucker.
