Astros may need to replace Josh Reddick with Kyle Tucker soon

Josh Reddick hasn’t exactly been setting the world on fire recently. He’s hitting just .150 in August; he hasn’t homered since June and hasn’t had a multi-hit game in more than a month. He’s also 32 years old and probably on the decline. With that in mind, is it time for the Astros to think about replacing him with top prospect Kyle Tucker?

I want to preface this by saying I like Reddick and always have. He was huge in 2017, hitting .314/.363/.484. He continues to play solid defense in right field, he’s a great player to have in the clubhouse and is a fan favorite.
