Kyle Tucker is still riding the pine and trying everyone\u2019s patience. But PCA is back. Updates below.<\/p>\n

The Cubs hit the road to face the former Milwaukee, former Boston, Braves for a set of three in Atlanta. Sh\u014dta Imanaga took the first turn versus Bryce Elder. He was greeted roughly by the hosts, but it could have been worse. Three runs down, in a must-win game, as they all are at this point. Ozzie Albees should be illegal. Elder looked like an All-Star.<\/p>\n

Matt Shaw got the Cubs on the board in the top of the seventh [VIDEO] after a Nico Hoerner double put him in scoring position and a Willi Castro groundout advanced him to third, but that was all the Cubs could muster. Aaron Civale took over in the bottom of the inning and completed the contest.<\/p>\n

Matt Olson restored that lead for the Braves with a long ball. Today is another must-win.<\/p>\n

\u201cDanny felt some tightness in the posterior right shoulder,\u201d Counsell said after the game. \u201cDocs have looked at him. That\u2019s all we have right now. Probably let him just calm down a little bit and see how we are in a couple of days, a day or so.\u201d<\/p>\n

Counsell said he had a similar pain \u201cmaybe a couple months ago,\u201d but that only lasted a day, and Palencia has \u201cbeen good ever since.\u201d \u2014 Andy Martinez.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
