Tucker is already up to 18 RBI on the season with the pair of runs driven in. The 28-year-old has enjoyed his first — possibly only — season with the Cubs as seen in a slash of .328/.451/.657 over the first 17 games. He’s going to get a lot of money really soon.

Tucker continues to play a pivotal role in Chicago’s sustained offensive outburst since returning from their season-opening Japan series as his latest multi-hit performance raises his average to a robust .327 (17-for-52) with five homers and three steals through 13 games. The 28-year-old impending free agent finds himself in the driver’s seat as the marquee name on the open market with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. agreeing to a long-term contract extension with the Blue Jays. He’s in line for a massive contract this offseason once he reaches free agency.

He’s played a couple of more games than most of the league, but Tucker is second in the majors in homers (five), RBI (15), runs scored (13) and walks (12). We’re still not sure that Wrigley Field is the best place to maximize his fantasy value, but he’s on an absolute tear right now.

Another day, another home run for Tucker. This time he took Luis Severino deep for a solo shot in the third inning. It was his fourth consecutive game leaving the yard. The 28-year-old superstar is 12-for-39 (.353) with four homers, five doubles, 11 RBI, and a stolen base through eight contests.
