Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker drew fan attention during a game against the Washington Nationals by robbing a home run. Tucker, who signed a four-year, $240 million contract this offseason, has struggled to meet expectations throughout his tenure with the club. His performance at the plate during the contest resulted in an 0-for-4 outing. Despite his offensive difficulties, the defensive play on a sinker from Bobby Miller prevented a potential home run off Harry Ford. Tucker currently holds a.677 OPS with the Dodgers, a decline from his.841 OPS with the Chicago Cubs last season. The organization continues to monitor his progress as he attempts to improve his consistency following recent public criticism regarding his effort level.
