Cubs OF Kyle Tucker (Calf) Seeking Outside Help for Injury
Kyle Tucker sought new physical therapy treatment in Tampa due to slow recovery from a calf injury that sidelined him for months, aiming to rejoin Cubs for final games.
- Kyle Tucker, the Chicago Cubs' right fielder, suffered a calf strain on September 2 and has since sought outside treatment during the 2025 season.
- The injury worsened despite initial expectations, leading Tucker and the Cubs to send him to Tampa for additional therapy due to stalled recovery progress.
- Tucker is working with physical therapist Jeremy Maddox at Optimal Performance & Physical Therapies, a group he had successful treatment with during a shin injury the prior year.
- Manager Craig Counsell stated, "We plateaued and weren't making progress," and confirmed Tucker is traveling with a medical staff member for this treatment.
- With under two weeks remaining in the regular season, Tucker is expected to return to the Cubs’ lineup in Chicago next week, though his fitness is still uncertain and could affect the team’s push for the playoffs.
