The star outfielder -- who was in the midst of the NL MVP race at the beginning of the year -- has seen his performance crater during the latter stages of the summer, prompting some in the Wrigley Field faithful to shockingly boo him.

Kyle Tucker finally broke through. The Chicago Cubs outfielder ended his month-long power outage on Friday night with a Statcast-projected 405-foot home run in the first inning against the Los Angeles Angels. The solo shot to right field not only put the Cubs ahead early but also marked Tucker’s first extra-base hit since July 30 in Milwaukee.

Slumping All-Star slugger Kyle Tucker has returned to the Chicago Cubs' lineup for Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers after sitting out three games.
