Following the 4-3 victory — the Cubs' fourth in
five games — Tucker said he was dealing with the tightness the
past couple of days. He had treatment before Tuesday's contest
and said “it felt all right.”
“Then just as the game went, it just got a little more sore or
tight,” he said. “And eventually it was just like it's, man,
rather not try and test this much further and make it any more
than it really is.
“We'll see how it is tomorrow and just kind of go from there.”
Tucker is batting .400 (16 for 40) in his last 11 games with
four homers and 11 RBIs. The hot streak comes after a slump
through the first half of August when Tucker batted .138 with no
homers and one RBI in 16 games.
Manager Craig Counsell said the injury wasn't related to any
specific incident.
Counsell planned to give Tucker the day off Wednesday, the
series finale with Atlanta.
If all goes well, Tucker could return on Friday when Cubs host
Washington in the opener of a three-game set.
“We'll be cautious, absolutely, here,” Counsell said. “But we've
just go to see how it feels Friday and we'll go from there.”
