Brewers manager Pat Murphy claims Kyle Tucker is “hurt,” contradicting Cubs’ statements and fueling speculation about Tucker’s health.

Tucker, the biggest name in the upcoming winter's free agent class, has been in a slump for nearly two months now, batting .189 with just one home run in 38 games since the start of July. He sat on the bench for both games of the Tuesday doubleheader, both wins for the Cubs.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy accused the Chicago Cubs of hiding the real reason that their superstar slugger was benched.
