The duo sat out the 1-0 Europa League defeat on Thursday to Krasnodar alongside Shinji Kagawa, with qualification to the last 32 already assured.
Aubameyang has been a key figure for Dortmund this season, scoring 23 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions, while Reus has already found the net on 12 occasions.
And Tuchel is confident they will be fit to feature as interim coach Jurgen Kramny takes charge of Stuttgart for the first time.
"It [their progress in training] looks very good, but we are still cautious with the prediction [whether they can play]," the coach told reporters.
"I assume that Aubameyang and Reus will be fit to play on Sunday, also Park."
The former Mainz boss hopes the introduction of the duo can help provide an attacking boost following successive defeats - a 3-1 loss at Hamburg last Friday leaving BVB eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
"Of course, you can be accused of a lack of coolness [in the final third] - we also are," Tuchel added.
"It is a topic within the team. In the final or penultimate pass, accuracy is lacking.
"Consecutive defeats rankle with us."
