It’s been exactly one week since Kyle Tucker last played and the Chicago Cubs finally placed him on the 10-day injured list. Not exactly sure why the team delayed their decision until now when it he wasn’t making much progress through the weekend. Anyway, Tucker is on the injured list retroactive to Sept. 6.
Meanwhile, the team has called up Moises Ballesteros from Triple-A to take Tucker’s spot on the active roster. This is now the third time Ballesteros has been promoted to the big-league roster in 2025.
Ballesteros, 21, has continued his excellent hitting with the Iowa Cubs this year as he’s recorded a slash line of .316/.385/.473, with 13 home runs in 509 plate appearances. In his brief playing time in the majors this year Ballesteros is 4-for-18, with six RBI and three runs scored.
(Previous Update)
Kyle Tucker last played against the Atlanta Braves on Sept. 2, and in the least shocking development coming from the Chicago Cubs the team appears to have screwed the pooch again. Mismanaging an injured player? Yup, we’re talking about the Cubs.
Tucker exited last Tuesday’s game prior to the seventh inning because of calf tightness. After that game Craig Counsell said Tucker wouldn’t play the next game, hoping that two days of rest (Thursday was an off day) would give the right fielder enough time to recover. Tucker was absent from the starting lineup on Friday. Then, he wasn’t in there again on Saturday, but surely he’d be playing Sunday? Nope.
During that entire time it made sense to put Tucker on the injured list, call up a player from Triple-A and move on. But no, it can’t ever be that easy. The Cubs are now set to begin a three-game series against the Braves in Atlanta on Monday and Tucker still isn’t ready to play.

Apparently Moises Ballesteros was in Atlanta on Sunday night, so maybe now the Cubs will place Tucker on the injured list?

Monday night’s game is only a few hours away and the team still hasn’t made an announcement on it, so it looks like they’re delaying that decision even more. Good job, Cubs.
