Cubs' Kyle Tucker Leaves With Calf Tightness After 3-Run Homer in 4-3 Win Over Braves

His .400 surge over the past 11 games makes the evaluation of his left calf a key short-term question.

Overview

  • Tucker exited in the seventh inning with tightness in his left calf, and the team had no immediate update on his status.
  • He hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the third inning at Wrigley Field, which the AP reported as his 22nd of the season.
  • Chicago edged Atlanta 4-3 as Shota Imanaga worked six innings of three-run ball and Daniel Palencia recorded the final out.
  • Willi Castro took over in right field after Tucker was lifted from the game.
  • After hitting .138 with no homers earlier in August, Tucker has rebounded to bat .400 over his last 11 games with four home runs and 11 RBIs.
