The Chicago Cubs are missing the Kyle Tucker they came to love in the first half, and it's possible his injury is playing a role in the slump.

A few things are going on with Tucker that suggest things aren’t right, but also that he’s probably going to snap out of it soon.

Tucker isn’t the only Cubs hitter in a rut. Though Seiya Suzuki’s breakout performance Wednesday helped propel the Cubs to a strong offensive day in the series finale against the Reds, the Cubs have been in the bottom third of the majors in run-scoring since the All-Star break.
