The Cubs are aiming to reinstate right fielder Kyle Tucker from the 10-day IL on Friday, manager Craig Counsell said. Tucker would serve as the designated hitter for at least his first day back from a strained left calf that’s sidelined him for most of the month.
“We were on the same page with that,” Counsell said of his conversation with Tucker as he went through his work Wednesday afternoon. “I don’t think the symptoms are going to be gone, but I think he’s in a place where he agrees, and we’ve got to go.
