Fantasy Analysis
Shuck appeared to have the inside track on a roster spot this spring but apparently the Astros want him to work on some more things in the minors. He batted .272 with three RBI in 37 games during his call-up last season, but does not hold a ton of Fantasy value going forward. Continue to ignore Shuck in the majority of formats at this point.
