Cubs' All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker seeks treatment in Tampa for a left calf strain, hoping to play before the season ends.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, an All-Star in his first season with the team, has traveled to Tampa, Florida, for additional treatment on a strained left calf that has sidelined him since September 2. The 28-year-old, who has a .270 batting average, 22 home runs, and 73 RBIs in 133 games, is working with a Tampa-based physical therapy group he’s previously used. The Cubs, nearing a National League playoff spot, hope he can play in some games before the regular season ends on September 28 against the Cardinals. Manager Craig Counsell stressed the importance of Tucker returning to the field before the season concludes.
