After an off day on Thursday, the Chicago Cubs were hopeful that Kyle Tucker would return to the starting lineup for the team's game against the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field. Tucker was held out of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves due to a calf injury, and he is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday.
Craig Counsell told reporters that Wednesday's day off was encouraging for Tucker, but he is still experiencing some symptoms. The Cubs are expected to put Tucker through a workout before Saturday's game, and the hope remains that he could return to the lineup for one of the two final games against the Nationals this weekend.
