Manager Craig Counsell confirmed the news on Wednesday night.\n\nAccording to Counsell, Tucker&#8217;s injury is completely healed.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>He was sore for a while, but he was able to play. More tests were done and a small fracture that was healing was shown.<\/p><cite>Craig Counsell<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nDespite the diagnosis, 28-year-old Tucker chose to continue playing, even accumulating a .982 OPS in June. The injury occurred while sliding into second base against the Cincinnati Reds on June 1. Initial X-rays were negative, but subsequent examinations revealed a small fracture in the upper part of his hand.\n\nCubs&#8217; president of baseball operations, Jed Hoyer, noted that the injury has affected Tucker&#8217;s performance.\n\nSince July, Tucker is batting .189 with only four extra-base hits, and his ground ball percentage this month is an alarming 54%. After an 0-4 game on Monday, Counsell decided to give Tucker a few days off.\n\nTucker has avoided using the injury as an excuse.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I&#8217;m good. I&#8217;ve played, for the most part, all the games this year.

He was selected for his fourth All-Star Game.\n\nTucker&#8217;s rest time could help him recover for the rest of the season.\n\n&#8220;Initially, it was going to be two days [of rest],&#8221; Counsell said Wednesday afternoon. &#8220;We&#8217;ll see from there.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Tucker Played with a Fractured Hand Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker revealed that he played with a fracture in his right hand during the month of June.
