Kyle Tucker, the Cubs right fielder, will likely receive several days off following a poor performance against the Brewers, hitting .160 in August with no extra-base hits. His struggles have led to frustration for both him and fans, resulting in boos during his last at-bats. He has not hit a home run since mid-July and has had a rising ground ball rate. Cubs' management acknowledges a need for a mechanical reset as his hitting mechanics have deteriorated.
"The fans are frustrated and Kyle is frustrated. When you make outs, it doesn't look good. He's trying. It's just not clicking."
"He's frustrated and we're not coming up with solutions for him and he's not coming up with solutions. Sometimes you have to take some steps back to go forward again."
