CHICAGO — With the boos raining down on Kyle Tucker at Wrigley Field, Cubs manager Craig Counsell floated a plan to bench the All-Star outfielder in the hopes of removing him from a career-worst slump.

The Chicago Cubs have struggled since the All-Star break, and a major contributing factor has been the inconsistency of star player Kyle Tucker.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker has hit just one home run in his last 136 at-bats, and he’ll be on the bench for the second game of a doubleheader.
