Cubs OF Kyle Tucker played with a small fracture in his right hand after he got hurt in June
CHICAGO — Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker played with a small fracture in his right hand after he got hurt in June, and manager Craig Counsell said that might have contributed to his trouble at the plate. Speaking after a 4-3 victory over Milwaukee, Counsell confirmed a report that detailed the extent of Tucker's injury. The All-Star slugger jammed his right ring finger during an awkward slide in a victory over Cincinnati on June 1. Initial X-rays were negative. He missed one game and then made a pinch-hitting appearance before returning to the starting lineup on June 5. 'He was sore for a little while, but was able to play,' Counsell said. 'We did some more imaging, and it showed a small fracture that was healing, and, you know, that's it. Is it possible that this has caused kind of like, playing through it, changed some things? Yeah, absolutely. I think it's probably likely that at some point that happened. But he wanted to play.' Counsell said Tucker hasn't had any more imaging since the fracture was found, and it has healed by this point. '(It) hasn't been an issue,' Counsell said. The 28-year-old Tucker hasn't played since he went 0 for 4 in a 7-0 loss to Milwaukee. He has been getting some time off in hopes of helping him break out of his prolonged slump, but he could return to the lineup as soon as the series finale against the Brewers. Tucker has brushed off any questions about his health amid his offensive slump. 'I'm fine,' he said. 'I mean, I've played, you know, for the most part every game this year. So I'm fine going out there.' Tucker was acquired in a December trade with Houston. He is eligible for free agency after this season. He got off to a terrific start this year, batting .290 with 17 homers, 52 RBIs and a .923 OPS in his first 85 games. He made the All-Star Game for the fourth time. But he hasn't been the same player since the break. He is batting .148 (8 for 54) in August, and he has just two extra-base hits — both doubles — in his last 24 games. 'The fact that he's going through that and he's trying to grind for us and get it any way he can to put himself in a good position to play, I mean that just kind of shows you the type of guy is, and the kind of teammate he is,' rookie third baseman Matt Shaw said. 'And I think for all of us, that helps motivate us as a team.'

Last Night in Baseball: So it Turns Out the Cubs Can Stop the Brewers
Major League Baseball Last Night in Baseball: So it Turns Out the Cubs Can Stop the Brewers Published Aug. 21, 2025 11:09 a.m. ET share facebook x reddit link There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from the weekend in Major League Baseball : Here come the Cubs The Brewers were unstoppable! They were unable to be stopped! They had built up a massive lead on the second-place Cubs after ripping first place in the NL Central out of their hands, and it seemed like that was that. It very likely is still that, but the Cubs have made a statement, coming off the Brewers 14-game win streak. Chicago vs. Milwaukee, in a 1v1 situation, is not automatically a Brew Crew victory. In fact, the Cubs took three of four from the Brewers this week, winning the series on Wednesday. That doesn't mean that they dominated, however. Chicago won 6-4 and 4-1 in Tuesday's doubleheader games, and Wednesday's affair came down to the last out. The Cubs were up 4-2 to start the ninth inning in Chicago, and then things started going downhill. David Palencia came on in relief and struck out Anthony Seigler and Caleb Durbin while allowing a Brice Turang single in between, then there was trouble with two. Turang took second on defensive indifference, then pinch-hitter Danny Jansen singled to score him. Brandon Lockridge would pinch-run and, after a challenge, successfully stole second. Sal Frelick and Isaac Collins both walked, loading the bases with Chicago up 4-3. William Contreras would then hit the ball, hard, toward second base, but Nico Hoerner got it. ADVERTISEMENT He just got it, and thanks to holding on the Cubs did, too. While Chicago is still six back of Milwaukee even after taking three of four, of more importance is that they shored up their wild card lead. They're 5.5 up on the Mets, who hold the third wild card spot at the moment, and 6.5 ahead of the Reds, the first contender to grab one of these slots. While they still have to figure out the Kyle Tucker situation — he's apparently been playing with a hairline fracture in his hand — that they were able to succeed against the previously red-hot Brewers without him is great news. Phillies big day The Phillies swept the Mariners, and it wasn't even as close as that makes it sound. On Monday, they won 12-7 while piling up 21 hits, with Seattle scoring all of their runs in the last three innings after Philadelphia said "sure, even our bullpen can't lose this game for us now." On Tuesday, it was a 6-4 Philly W, but Wednesday was the true beatdown: an 11-2 win where they logged 20 hits and their relievers allowed just one run. Starter Jesus Luzardo threw 6 innings of 1-run ball while striking out 12 Mariners and allowing just 3 hits and no walks. Trea Turner went 5-for-6 with 3 runs, 2 RBIs and a triple. Max Kepler had 3 hits, including a homer, and Stott picked up 3 knocks with a double. While Bryce Harper had just the one hit on the day, he drove in a run and drew a walk three times. Kyle Schwarber was the other true star of the day outside of Turner, however, as he scored a pair of runs, drove in 5 RBIs himself and picked up 3 hits, including his NL-leading 45th dinger of the year. Schwarber is now one long ball up on Dodgers' star Shohei Ohtani for the NL lead, and just two behind Cal Raleigh, who his teammates shut down all series long. Meanwhile, as the Mets lost again, the Phillies' NL West lead grew to 6.5 games. Ohtani gets rocked Shohei Ohtani was looking great on the mound all season, basically until he pitched into the fifth for the first time all year in his previous start. That's not an attempt to place blame, either, just a statement of fact. Ohtani took the mound on Wednesday against the Rockies, and things did not go well for him. Maybe it was just having to pitch in Colorado at all that did it, but whatever the problem, Ohtani couldn't make it work. Ohtani gave up an RBI double to Brenton Doyle in the second inning, then a sac fly scored Mickey Moniak to make it 2-0 Colorado. In the fourth, Warming Bernabel doubled in another run, then Orlando Arcia singled in Moniak for his second run of the game. Tyler Freeman hit a liner to right for another run-scoring single, and it was 5-0 Rockies. Ohtani would complete the inning, but exit the game. The Dodgers' offense would wake up after that and put three runs on the board, but the Rockies just kept going, scoring another three against the Los Angeles pen. With the loss, they now sit just a game ahead of the Padres in the NL West once again, while the Rockies are now 9-10 in the month of August, which matters! The best winning percentage they have managed in a month all season long was in June, when they managed a .385 by going 10-16. Another W against Los Angeles on Thursday, and the Rockies both win this four-game series and sit at .500 in August this deep into the month. Padres get back on track The reason the Dodgers are just one game up on the Padres isn't just that they've been losing to the Rockies, but also because San Diego seems to have righted themselves. While a loss on Monday to the Giants made it four defeats in a row, they've come out ahead in the last two games, and have a chance to win their own four-game series on Thursday. Stop us if you have heard this one before, but Fernando Tatis Jr. robbed a home run. And he did it in the first inning, too. All Rafael Devers could do after the catch was smile — being mad at Tatis for pulling a home run back is like being mad at water for being wet, some things you just have to live with. The Padres had no problems hitting it where they ain't, though. Manny Machado found the bullpen in the bottom of the third with San Diego already up 2-0… …followed by Gavin Sheets hitting his second homer of the game shortly after to put the Padres up 6-0. The Padres would end up going yard four times, with the last coming from trade deadline acquisition Ryan O'Hearn. After a bit of a slow start with San Diego, O'Hearn is now up to .263/.373/.524 with 3 home runs for the Friars in 16 games, which is a little better, even, than what he was doing with the Orioles. Padres fans can joke about how it's unfair to get excited since the Dodgers had to face the juggernaut that is the Colorado Rockies, but know that San Diego has their own games remaining against the Rox before the season ends, too. They're going to play spoiler for someone, one way or the other. Bad news for the Guardians The Guardians got oh-so-close to grabbing the last AL Wild Card spot not all that long ago, but it's been a bit of a struggle since then. The Yankees recovered, for one, and while the Red Sox and Mariners have taken their place as the vulnerable teams in the wild card race, the Guardians have been unable to capitalize: they're 3-7 in their last 10, the Royals have leapfrogged them by half-a-game and Cleveland sits three back of Seattle. The Diamondbacks defeated them for the second game in a row on Wednesday, and with a walk-off, too, just to twist the knife a little. Even worse, the game only went to extras, where Adrian Del Castillo would drive in Pavin Smith to win it, in the first place because Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth to keep Arizona alive: the Guardians had been up 2-1 to that point since the second inning, with starter Parker Messick and the first man out of the pen, Hunter Gaddis, holding things down for a combined 7.2 innings. Langeliers is on fire Shea Langeliers has 16 homers since the All-Star break. That's more than anyone else, if you were wondering. Kyle Schwarber is close at 15, but he's Langeliers' only competition here. Homers do it again for the Yankees Giancarlo Stanton pinch-hit for Ryan McMahon in the top of the 10th inning, and delivered a two-run home run to put New York ahead 5-3. While Stanton's home run decided the outcome in the end, a number of Yankees had significant contributions of the long ball-variety. In fact, catcher Austin Wells followed up Stanton's home run with one of his own to pad the Yankees' lead. It was Wells' second home run of the night, to complete his first two-HR game of the season. The Yankees would hit five on the night, and, with the nine they hit on Tuesday, tied an MLB record for the most by any team over two games. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Brewers' Christian Yelich Makes Bold Cubs Prediction After 3rd Straight Loss
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Milwaukee Brewers lost their third straight game to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night, losing the season series. Despite their fourth loss in the last five games, Christian Yelich is not too worried about the Brewers. After the game, he noted that stretches like this are normal and that the Brewers are still a good team. It's not surprising to hear Yelich support his own team after a loss, especially when it has the best record in baseball. The Brewers play their final scheduled game against the Cubs on Thursday, but Yelich predicts that they will see each other again. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 19: Christian Yelich #22 of the Milwaukee Brewers slides into second base after a hit by Andrew Vaughn during the first inning against the Chicago Cubs in game 2 of a... CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 19: Christian Yelich #22 of the Milwaukee Brewers slides into second base after a hit by Andrew Vaughn during the first inning against the Chicago Cubs in game 2 of a double header at Wrigley Field on August 19, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. More"We're going to square off probably more times than just (Thursday)," Yelich said on Wednesday night, per Adam McCalvy. "We're going to probably see them again at some point in the postseason, and it will be a good series." Not only are the Cubs and Brewers both near locks for October at this point, but both teams look like real contenders. The Brewers have the best overall record in baseball, and the Cubs have the fifth-best record. Both teams have played well against other contenders, and have played close games against each other as well. With the season winding down, the Brewers entered Thursday with a six-game lead in the division and may have their eyes on the top seed in the National League. Meanwhile, the Cubs are trying to pass the Brewers and, at the very least, secure the top wild card spot in the NL. More MLB: Christian Yelich's Reaction as Brewers Fall to Cubs Again: 'Who Cares?'
