Kyle Tucker was benched by the Los Angeles Dodgers on August 16 against the Milwaukee Brewers due to issues with his performance at home. Manager Dave Roberts noted Tucker's stark home/away splits, with the outfielder slashing just.192 at Dodger Stadium compared to.840 on the road. Despite being a superstar signing, Tucker has been unable to find success at home, where he has only two home runs this season. This marks the second consecutive season that Tucker has faced similar difficulties at home. His struggles raise questions as the Dodgers expect more from his $240 million contract.
