Kyle Tucker hit the go-ahead HR while going three-for-five with two RBI in the Cubs' 13-11 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Tucker added on two runs to his box score and is now hitting for a 1.055 OPS. Acquired over the offseason through trade, the 28-year-old is proving he can continue what he was doing in Houston and is providing the Cubs with a ton of value. His 21 RBI now rank third overall in the majors, giving both Cubs fans and fantasy owners plenty of faith in the lefty when he's at the plate. His next chance to continue to fill box scores will be Saturday against DBacks starter
Zac Gallen. Tucker is 5-15 with two doubles and a walk against Gallen, making him a solid target for fantasy managers and DFS players on Saturday.

Kyle Tucker went 2-for-3 with a home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Oakland Athletics. The 28-year-old plated one run, scoring thrice, walked twice and struck out once. Tucker has been white-hot at the dish to start the year, hitting a superb .353/.450/.853 with nine extra-base hits (five doubles, four HRs), one steal, and a 6:6 K:BB ratio. Furthermore, he leads the MLB with 12 hits, is tied for the league lead with 11 RBI, and places second in runs scored (9) behind
Shohei Ohtani. Tucker will line up again at Sutter Health Park on Wednesday, squaring off against left-handed pitcher

Kyle Tucker kept on rolling as the Cubs traveled from Phoenix to Sacramento to continue their season-opening road trip. Tucker went 4-for-7 with a pair of doubles, a home run, four runs scored, and three RBI in the Cubs' 18-run outburst against the Athletics. Time will tell if this big game indicates that Sutter Health Park will be a very hitter-friendly or if it was just that the Cubs had a great matchup against
Joey Estes and the Athletics' bullpen. Either way, Tucker is off to a great start with the Cubs, with three home runs in his last three games. He has gone 10-for-31 overall this season, giving him a .323 batting average and .473 wOBA in the early going, backed up by an impressive 26.9% barrel rate, per StatCast.

Kyle Tucker did not have his first regular-season game with his new team go as planned. Batting third, the 28-year-old went 0-for-4 in the Tokyo Series Game 1 4-1 loss to the Dodgers. Tucker's poor start with the Cubs started before Monday, as he was slashing just .043/.233/.174 in 30 spring plate appearances. Fantasy managers should not put too much emphasis on numbers from such a small sample size, particularly for players with Tucker's track record. He has proven to be a five-category, first-round caliber player throughout his career. Despite missing a good chunk of the 2024 season with a shin injury, Tucker slashed .289/.408/.585 with 23 home runs, 56 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 339 plate appearances. Fantasy managers still to draft should not shy away from Tucker as a top-tier fantasy pick.
