Kyle Tucker News: Getting rare day off

Tucker is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

In what appears to be a routine rest day, Tucker will head to the bench for just the third time all season and for the first time since he missed a pair of starts June 3 and 4 while tending to a jammed right ring finger. Since making his return, Tucker is batting just .237 with one home run and one stolen base in 10 games, though he's walked at a 15.6 percent clip. With Tucker taking a seat, Seiya Suzuki will start in right field, and Justin Turner will enter the lineup at designated hitter.
