Kyle Tucker News: Will sit multiple days amid slump

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Tucker will not start the second game of Monday's doubleheader versus the Brewers and will receive multiple days off while he's in the midst of a slump at the plate, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Tucker came into Monday slashing .195/.333/.242 with one home run since the beginning of July and then went 0-for-4 in the Cubs' 7-0 loss in the first game of the twin bill. With Tucker expected to receive multiple days off to regroup, rookie Owen Caissie should be in line for more short-term playing time in the corner outfield.
