Cubs manager Craig Counsell explains Kyle Tucker benching, outlining his plan to help the star reset and break out of a costly slump.

Kyle Tucker is trying to break out of a prolonged slump, and the Chicago Cubs are doing whatever they can to help the All-Star outfielder.

The Cubs have gone 13-15 in the second half while Tucker has struggled, but they are now nine games back of the red-hot Brewers in the division and five games clear of a postseason spot. For the Cubs to make any type of postseason run, they’ll need Tucker to return to form.
