Kyle Tucker missed Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants due to an injury sustained from a foul ball hitting his right knee/shin area during Saturday’s contest. Despite initial assurances that he felt well, manager Dave Roberts opted to bench him as a precautionary measure. In his recent performances, Tucker had shown significant improvement, batting 15-for-35 with five home runs and 11 RBIs over the last ten games.

Story summary
On Sunday, Kyle Tucker did not appear in the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they played their series finale against the San Francisco Giants, after he left Saturday's game early due to a foul ball hitting his right knee/shin area. Despite feeling fine on Sunday, Tucker was sidelined by manager Dave Roberts, who had initially expected him to play depending on how the injury progressed overnight. Tucker sustained the injury in the third inning when a foul ball hit an area above his shin guard, causing immediate pain and prompting medical attention. He stayed in the game until the seventh inning but showed discomfort during that time. The Dodgers are concerned about the impact this may have on Tucker's recent upswing in performance, as he had been playing well prior to the injury.
