Overview

• Tucker returned to Wrigley Field after rehab work in Tampa and was not activated, with his status remaining day to day.
• He ran on consecutive days — Monday in Florida and Tuesday at Wrigley — and advanced to touching bases, a step he had not previously reached.
• Tucker said he feels a little better after additional treatment in Tampa and noted there are still boxes to check before he can play.
• Counsell said Tucker will be used as a designated hitter at first upon his return rather than playing the outfield.
• Tucker has been on the injured list since Sept. 6 and has not played since Sept. 2; the Cubs clinched a playoff berth during his absence.
