Kyle Tucker's path back to form hit a temporary snag as the Cubs benched him in Tuesday's doubleheader to give him a mental reset, with Owen Caissie stepping in and delivering a bases-loaded two-run single in Game 1 plus his first big-league homer. Tucker has labored since the All-Star break, posting a .182/.333/.239 line with limited extra-base impact and a heavy ground-ball tilt that correlates with a stretch of subpar run production for Chicago. The Cubs have leaned on Caissie as a spark plug, while Tucker insists he’s fine and focused on helping the club win. Tucker's looming free agency adds another layer of fantasy intrigue, as managers weigh his proven track record against current slumps, potential role changes, and team context.
