A replica of the Jobu figurine from the movie “Major League” perched on the locker shelf over Kyle Tucker’s left shoulder Tuesday as he fielded questions from a scrum of reporters about his recent struggles at the plate.

“Anything,” Tucker said of what he was looking at to turn around his offensive performance. “Anything that’s staying inside and through the ball, and hit the ball up the middle. I just need to try and continue to figure that out. And hopefully figure it out quick.”

Maybe channeling the fictional character Pedro Cerrano by asking for Jobu’s mystical assistance could help?
