It's all eyes on Chicago Cubs rookie Owen Caissie, who's likely to see increased playing time with Kyle Tucker effectively getting benched.
Tucker, who has one home run since the beginning of July, is in the middle of a prolonged slump that has tanked his production. The 28-year-old has an ugly slash line of .181/.323/.238 over his last 30 games, with 21 strikeouts and seven RBI in that time. The only thing he's been able to do is draw plenty of walks, but the frustration reached a boiling point in Monday's contest with Milwaukee. Tucker grounded out three times in the game, drawing boos from the crowd at Wrigley Field.
