A former MLB general manager, explained how front offices analyzse the cost and benefits of letting a star like the Cubs' Kyle Tucker play through an injury.

Kyle Tucker is set to be a free agent this winter. The contract he is setting up to get is going to be a huge one.

By taking both games Tuesday, Chicago moved within seven games of the NL Central-leading Brewers, who led early in the second game before dropping to 55-15 when they score first.

The Chicago Cubs traded for All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker in December, and early on, that move seemed to be working out perfectly. Tucker was his usual self through two months of the season, but then something happened that wasn't made into a huge deal in the moment, but has since become a crucial storyline in this season.

Coming into today, the Brewers had won every game this year that Brandon Woodruff had started. That is no longer the case. Milwaukee only managed one run against Jameson Taillon and the Cubs’ bullpen as they dropped the second game of today’s doubleheader,
