The situation has turned ugly with Tucker getting booed at Wrigley Field for not producing and not running to first base.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell explains Kyle Tucker benching, outlining his plan to help the star reset and break out of a costly slump.

The Cubs have gone 13-15 in the second half while Tucker has struggled, but they are now nine games back of the red-hot Brewers in the division and five games clear of a postseason spot. For the Cubs to make any type of postseason run, they’ll need Tucker to return to form.
