Tucker went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two total runs scored in Monday's 4-3, extra-innings loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker touched up Philadelphia starter Zack Wheeler in the first inning for his 13th home run of the season. The outfielder hadn't gone deep since May 21, though he continued to make strong contact with a .277 batting average in the 14 games without a home run. For the year, Tucker is now batting .279 with an elite .912 OPS through 65 games, and he's been a key reason why the Cubs are in first place in the NL Central.

Tucker (finger) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old jammed his right ring finger during Sunday's game against the Reds and had X-rays come back negative, but he'll still end up missing at least one start, which will be his first time on the bench this season. Tucker should be considered day-to-day, while Seiya Suzuki moves out to right field and Justin Turner starts at designated hitter Tuesday.

Tucker (finger) had X-rays that came back negative on his jammed right ring finger after Sunday's 7-3 win over the Reds, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tucker was removed from Sunday's victory in the top of the fifth inning after suffering a jammed finger earlier in the game. The outfielder appears to have avoided a significant injury, and with the Cubs off Monday, he may not miss any game action as a result. He can be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's series opener with the Nationals.

The veteran outfielder will have Monday's team off day to recover before the Cubs travel to Washington on Tuesday for the start of a three-game series.

Tucker went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old outfielder produced his first three-hit effort since April 22, while his first-inning long ball off Ryan Weathers snapped a brief nine-game homerless drought. Tucker has slowed down in May, but on the season he still sports a .268/.381/.532 slash line with 11 home runs, 13 steals, 34 RBI and 37 runs in 49 contests.

Tucker went 0-for-2 with three walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Cubs ran wild in this one, going 6-for-6 on steal attempts against young catcher Edgar Quero, and Tucker was able to make an impact even without collecting a hit. Tucker himself is 12-for-12 on the basepaths in 46 contests this season and hasn't been caught stealing since Sept. 11, 2023, successfully swiping 25 straight bags since then. The rest of his line in 2025 isn't too shabby either -- he's slashing .264/.377/.528 with 10 homers, 33 RBI and 34 runs, putting him on pace for his first career 30-30 campaign.
