The Houston Astros beat Kyle Tucker in arbitration, meaning the outfielder will make $5 million in 2023 rather than his request for $7.5 million.

The $2.5 million gap between Tucker and the Astros matched the largest among 33 players who exchanged proposed salaries with their club last month.

Tucker, 26, hit .257 with 30 home runs, a career-best 107 RBIs and stole 25 bases. He had a $764,200 salary last year and was eligible for arbitration for the first time.
