“It was just a little worse today than it was yesterday,\u201d Cubs manager Craig Counsell said before Tuesday night’s game against Atlanta. \u201cYesterday was a really good day, just didn’t have any progress today. He wasn’t comfortable playing, so we said, \u2018We have to give this a little more time.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker is hitting .270 with a team-best .854 OPS. He has 22 home runs in his first year with the Cubs after seven seasons with Houston.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think anything has gotten worse,\u201d Counsell said. \u201cWe just have to get to a point where he’s not symptomatic and then not feeling it doing baseball activities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catcher Mois\u00e9s Ballesteros was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.<\/p>\n
