Cubs to give struggling Tucker days off to reset

Cubs to give struggling Tucker days off to reset

The Chicago Cubs have decided to give outfielder Kyle Tucker a few days off to help him reset and regain his form. Tucker, who has been struggling at the plate, has not hit a home run since mid-July and has not recorded an extra-base hit in the month of August. Manager Craig Counsell stated that the team believes this break will benefit Tucker and allow him to recharge and refocus. The Cubs are hoping that this short hiatus will help Tucker rediscover his swing and return to the level of play that made him a valuable contributor earlier in the season. The decision to provide Tucker with some time off reflects the team's commitment to supporting their players and helping them work through difficult stretches. The organization believes this approach will ultimately benefit both Tucker and the team as they continue to compete in the season.
