The Chicago Cubs placed All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left calf strain.

The move is retroactive to Saturday.

Tucker last played for Chicago on Sept. 2, when he hit a three-run homer against the Atlanta Braves , then left the game with tightness in the calf. He indicated afterward that the calf had been bothering him for a few days.

Seiya Suzuki has been playing right field in Tucker's absence for Chicago, which entered Tuesday 7.5 games behind the first-place Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central but atop the wild card standings by five games.

Tucker is hitting .270 with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs.

Catcher Moises Ballesteros was recalled from Triple A in the corresponding roster move.
