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.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell has decided to give struggling star Kyle Tucker a few days off to reset and hopefully return to his early-season form.

Craig Counsell's message to impending free agent Kyle Tucker will cost the star Chicago Cubs outfielder more than only playing time.

Cubs fans booed Tucker in the sixth inning of Sunday’s 4-3 comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates for failing to run out a ground ball. It was a bad look for Tucker, who barely jogged to first when he saw Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz prepare for the unassisted putout.

Former Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker is expected to get a big-money free-agent contract this offseason, according to an MLB insider.
