• Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Finger still not 100 percent

  Rotowire Jun 16, 2025

  Cubs manager Craig Counsell acknowledged Sunday that Tucker's sprained right ring finger still isn't 100 percent, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports. Counsell noted that Tucker's finger injury is "not bad," but between rest Sunday and a team off day Monday, the skipper saw an opportunity to give Tucker "two days without swinging a bat." Tucker suffered the finger sprain back on June 1, and he's slashing a good-not-great .244/.380/.415 with only one home run in 13 games so far this month. The 28-year-old will be back in the lineup Tuesday as the Cubs host the Brewers.

Since making his return, Tucker is batting just .237 with one home run and one stolen base in 10 games, though he's walked at a 15.6 percent clip.

• Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Goes deep again Sunday

  Rotowire Mar 30, 2025

  Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Diamondbacks. Tucker went deep for the second straight day, and after posting just a .451 OPS through his first four games of the season, the outfielder has quickly pushed that figure up to .940. Chicago's prized offseason acquisition should occupy a prime lineup spot most days, and if he can stay healthy, 30 home runs and 100 RBI are realistic targets for Tucker. He reached both figures on two occasions while with Houston.
