Tucker, the biggest name in the upcoming winter's free agent class, has been in a slump for nearly two months now, batting .189 with just one home run in 38 games since the start of July. He sat on the bench for both games of the Tuesday doubleheader, both wins for the Cubs.

Tucker returned to the lineup after sitting for three games but went hitless Thursday, making him 0-for-8 in the two losses this series.

The Chicago Cubs superstar was asked why he continuously obscured news of a hand fracture during a brutal slump.
