Set to start a pivotal three-game series against the New York Mets at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night, the Chicago Cubs remain uncertain when it comes to when Kyle Tucker will be ready to return from a calf injury that has kept him sidelined since the first week of September. While appearing on 670 The Score on Tuesday afternoon, Jed Hoyer didn't give a date for when Cubs fans can expect to see Tucker in the starting lineup, but the hope remains he will be ready for the playoffs.
"The hope is that he progresses and we can get him in the lineup for a few games here and get his timing back and get him going (before the playoffs)," Hoyer said.
