Kyle Tucker Fantasy Stats

Free-agent All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker visited the Toronto Blue Jays training facility in Florida on Wednesday, according to Robert Murray of Fansided.com. The Blue Jays have already signed free-agent right-hander Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract and right-hander Cody Ponce to a three-year, $30 million contract, but apparently, they are not done adding after coming up just short in the World Series. Tucker is the biggest free agent on the market, and he is projected to land an 11-year, $418 million contract. Last year for the Chicago Cubs, the four-time All-Star hit 22 home runs with 91 runs, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 597 plate appearances. The biggest concern with Tucker is his inability to stay on the field, but because of that, fantasy managers can now scoop him up in the second round of most drafts.

General managers across MLB are predicting that free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker will sign with either the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, or Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason. The San Francisco Giants could be a dark-horse team, but they still owe first baseman Rafael Devers $250 million and are in the second year of a seven-year, $182 million contract with shortstop Willy Adames and the second of a six-year, $151 million extension with third baseman Matt Chapman. San Fran will be paying $137 million alone to their top six players in 2026. USA Today's Bob Nightengale wouldn't be surprised if the Blue Jays are "the perfect fit." The 28-year-old left-handed slugger is the top available free agent this winter and should command the biggest contract despite missing more time with injury in 2025. Tucker finished his first and likely last year in Chicago with a .266/.377/.464 slash line, .841 OPS, 22 home runs, 73 RBI, 91 runs, and 25 stolen bases in 500 at-bats.

Outfielder Kyle Tucker is one of the most prominent names on the free-agent market this winter after hitting .266/.377/.464 with an .841 OPS, 22 home runs, 73 RBI, 91 runs scored, a 143 OPS+, and a 4.5 fWAR in 136 games with the Chicago Cubs in 2025. The 28-year-old left-handed slugger is a free agent for the first time in his career and is the consensus No. 1 player on the market, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. If not for a hairline fracture in his right hand, Tucker's numbers in 2025 would have looked even better. So where will he land? It's anyone's guess right now, but Feinsand lists the Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Mets as his most likely suitors. Tucker is one of the best players in baseball when healthy, but injuries over the last two years have raised red flags about his durability. Even with injury concerns, he might land a deal worth north of $400 million.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reports that Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker headlines a list of 13 MLB players who were tendered $22.025 million qualifying offers on Thursday, according to sources. In addition to Tucker, the other 12 players to receive qualifying offers were Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette, Houston Astros left-hander Framber Valdez, San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez, New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen, Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga, Padres right-hander Michael King, New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham, Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres, and Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Brandon Woodruff. The deadline to accept the offers is on Nov. 18. If these players don't accept the offer and sign with other teams, their previous club will receive draft-pick compensation.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly ready to spend big this offseason. According to Jon Heyman, the Dodgers are expected to pursue outfielder Kyle Tucker this offseason. This should come as no surprise given the Dodgers pursuit of elite talent over the last few years. The Dodgers consider the outfield an area of need and Tucker is expected to be the best outfielder available on the market. He slashed .266/.376/.464 with 22 home runs, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 134 games with the Chicago Cubs this past season. His numbers did take a dip in the second half, but Tucker still figures to get an enormous contract this winter. This deal would make sense for both sides, but we'll see who else goes after Tucker this offseason.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker said he's unsure if he'll re-sign with the organization this offseason. As expected, Tucker is expected to head to free agency after his one season on the North Side. He was able to help the Cubs win a postseason series, but they ultimately fell short to the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS. This season, Tucker slashed .266/.377/.464 with 22 home runs, 73 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 136 games. The left-handed slugger saw his numbers take a dive in the second half due to injuries. Despite that, Tucker will be one of the most coveted free agents this winter. Wherever he lands, Tucker is going to be an early round fantasy option next season.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) will come off the 10-day injured list and rejoin the lineup on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports. Tucker, who last played Sept. 2, spent three weeks on the IL with a strained left calf that didn't heal as quickly as he or the team expected. He'll now have a few games to tune up before the playoff-bound Cubs begin a wild-card series against the San Diego Padres on Sept. 30. The Cubs broke a four-year playoff drought this season thanks in part to Tucker, who has slashed .270/.381/.472 with 22 homers, 73 RBI, 89 runs scored, and 25 stolen bases in 585 plate appearances

Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) is "trending" toward returning for the final series of the regular season this weekend against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals, according to 670 The Score. Tucker has recovered slowly from a left-calf strain that has kept him out of action since early September, but he's been doing baseball activities this week and has rejoined the major-league squad at Wrigley Field. The Cubs definitely want to get the 28-year-old some at-bats this weekend before the playoffs start early next week. The former first-rounder has hit .270/.381/.472 with an .854 OPS, 22 home runs, 73 RBI, 89 runs scored, and 25 stolen bases in 489 at-bats in his first year with the Cubbies, and they are going to need him performing the way he can for them to make a deep run in October.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) still has no timetable to return from the 10-day injured list, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Tucker is dealing with a strained left calf that has kept him out since Sept. 2, though he resumed running on Monday and did some agility work on Tuesday. "There's probably a few more boxes that I got to check off before everyone's comfortable with me going out there," Tucker said, adding that he hopes "to get back out there as soon as possible." The Cubs, who have already clinched a playoff spot, have just five regular-season games remaining. Ideally, Tucker will return in the next few days, but Chicago won't rush him back before the postseason if he isn't at full strength. The 28-year-old earned his fourth straight All-Star invitation this season and has slashed .270/.381/.472 with 22 homers, 73 RBI, 89 runs, and 25 steals in 133 games and 585 plate appearances.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (calf) did some running on Monday, according to president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer. Tucker has returned to Chicago after rehabbing in Tampa, and "the hope" is that he progresses more in the coming days and that the Cubs can get him back in the lineup "for a few games" by the end of the regular season. A left-calf strain has kept Tucker out since early September, but they really would like to get him some at-bats to close out the regular season this week/weekend before the wild-card series kicks off early next week. The 28-year-old four-time All-Star went through a rough slump in August, but he had come out of it before injuring his calf in early September. Overall, he has hit .270/.381/.472 with 22 homers, 73 RBI, 89 runs, and 25 steals in 489 at-bats in his first year in Chicago. The Cubs would lose a significant part of their offense if Tucker is unavailable for the postseason or limited in any way. Willi Castro has been getting more playing time in right field for the Cubs with Tucker out this month.
