“Whether you’re up or down, or early or late in the game, just to be able to know that everyone in the lineup can contribute, and at any point we can put up five, six, seven, eight runs in an inning is huge,” said Kyle Tucker, who has homered in two straight games. “We’re never out of the game if we have a team like that.”

The Cubs’ high-powered offense is getting back its customary leadoff hitter after the club activated left fielder Ian Happ from the 10-day injured list as part of a series of roster moves prior to Tuesday’s 14-1 win over the Marlins at loanDepot park.

The Chicago Cubs have had some worrisome injury luck, and it seems the trend will continue according to manager Craig Counsell.

The Cubs are dealing with multiple injury concerns as they hope to hold on to first place in the National League Central.

The Chicago Cubs had the Miami Marlins down to their last strike Monday, but a ninth-inning meltdown snapped the team's three-game winning streak.
