Cubs place Kyle Tucker on injured list because of strained left calf
- The Chicago Cubs have added Kyle Tucker, their standout right fielder, to the 10-day injured list effective September 6, 2025, because of a left calf strain.
- Tucker suffered the calf injury before his last game on September 2, when he hit a three-run home run against the Atlanta Braves and left due to tightness and soreness.
- The Cubs recalled rookie catcher/designated hitter Moisés Ballesteros from Triple-A Iowa to fill Tucker’s roster spot amid Chicago's strong Wild Card lead.
- Tucker is hitting for a.270 average with 22 homers and 73 RBIs, leading the team with an.854 OPS across 133 games this season. Although his calf injury restricts his running, it does not affect his ability to throw or swing the bat.
- Tucker is eligible to return on September 16, 2025, and Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Tucker is sidelined at least one more week, requiring more recovery and running tests.
