Digest more
The Cubs have gone 13-15 in the second half while Tucker has struggled, but they are now nine games back of the red-hot Brewers in the division and five games clear of a postseason spot. For the Cubs to make any type of postseason run, they’ll need Tucker to return to form.
Objectively, Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is having a great season. He'll take a .263/.376/.451 (141 OPS+) batting line with more walks (79) than strikeouts (77) into Monday's doubleheader with the Milwaukee Brewers.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy claims Kyle Tucker is “hurt,” contradicting Cubs’ statements and fueling speculation about Tucker’s health.
