Kyle Tucker Leaves With Calf Tightness on Tuesday
Kyle Tucker (calf) left Tuesday night's contest early against the Atlanta Braves at Wrigley Field with left-calf tightness, according to the team. Before leaving the eventual 4-3 win over the Braves, Tucker went 2-for-3 at the plate with the 22nd home run of the season and three RBI. He was replaced in right field by Willi Castro. It's unclear how serious the 28-year-old slugger's calf injury is, but if Tucker were to miss extended time, Castro and Kevin Alcantara would be the candidates to gain playing time in right field for the Cubbies. Tucker was in the midst of an extended slump before getting a few days off to clear his head. Since then, he has picked things back up offensively, going 14-for-41 (.341) with three home runs, four doubles and eight RBI in 11 games since Aug. 21. There should be an update on the severity of Tucker's calf injury by Wednesday morning.
