Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker played with a small fracture in his right hand earlier this season, manager Craig Consell confirmed Wednesday, after an ESPN report gave further insight into the trajectory of the four-time All-Star’s year.
“Him at 80% is pretty dang good,” Cubs left fielder Ian Happ said in a conversation with the Sun-Times. “Having him and his presence in the lineup and what that means for us, he’s one of the best players in the world. And so him going out there and just just being there, just having his quality at-bat every time means a lot to this group.
