Goes deep twice Tuesday Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.

Impact One game after hitting his first MLB home run, Suzuki followed up with a big encore, providing all the offense in the 2-1 Chicago win. The Japanese outfielder now has three long balls, eight RBI and an absurd 1.696 OPS through four contests. It looks like Suzuki is settling in nicely with the Cubs, so fantasy managers should expect good production the rest of the way, even when he inevitably cools down a bit from this scorching start.

Blasts first major-league home run Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a walk and a strikeout in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki drew three walks and drove in three runs across his first two games with the Cubs, and he hit a no-doubt homer to left field his first plate appearance Sunday. Per Jordan Bastian of MLB.com, the 27-year-old has seen 57 pitches across his first 13 big-league plate appearances, and he's whiffed just once in 11 swings. After showing plenty of plate discipline in Nippon Professional Baseball, Suzuki has performed well early in his MLB career.

Drives in three Suzuki went 1-for-3 with three RBI and a walk in a 9-0 win Saturday against the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki drove in runs in each of his first three plate appearances with a sacrifice fly, single and walk respectively. He has reached base safely in five of his nine trips to the plate as a Cub, starting both games in right field and batting sixth in the order. The 27-year-old rookie hit .309/.402/.541 across nine seasons in Japan and demonstrated impressive plate discipline overseas. So far, his hitting skills have translated nicely to Major League Baseball.

Records first MLB hit Suzuki went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki, who batted sixth, showed good plate discipline in his MLB debut. The 27-year-old looked solid this spring, so he could certainly hit the ground running in the regular season. He should play in right field most days, with veteran Jason Heyward pushed over to center or out of the lineup entirely. Heyward did start in center and bat seventh Thursday, with Rafael Ortega serving as the DH.

Cubs deliver for the home crowd, top Brewers on Opening Day

Led by Kyle Hendricks and Ian Happ, the Cubs put on a show in beating the Brewers on Thursday at Wrigley Field, Jake Mintz writes.

Cubs deliver for the home crowd, top Brewers on Opening Day

Batting sixth in MLB debut Suzuki will bat sixth and play right field in his MLB debut Thursday against the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki signed for five years and $85 million in mid-March but won't immediately be handed a key spot in the order. He posted a .938 OP in seven spring games, so his position in the lineup may be the result of an effort to not place too much pressure on him right away rather than a sign of how the Cubs view his readiness for major-league action. The team doesn't have the most imposing group of bats hitting ahead of him, so he could easily move up the lineup with some strong early performances.

Hits first spring home run Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Mariners.

Impact Suzuki entered the game hitless this spring, so it was nice to see him connect for a hit and a deep fly at that. The 27-year-old from Japan is still getting up to speed with MLB pitching, but once he settles in, he should be able to post good fantasy numbers with his ability to hit for a solid average and drive the ball over the wall.

Still searching for first hit Suzuki is 0-for-6 with a walk, a run scored and four strikeouts through his first three Cactus League games.

Impact It's very early, and Suzuki may be pressing a little bit after signing a five-year, $85 million deal with the Cubs earlier this month. Chicago is sure to be patient after spending that much on Suzuki, and the Japanese outfielder should eventually get his bat going, though these struggles may carry over to the regular season as he adjusts to MLB pitching.

Strikes out twice in debut Suzuki went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in Friday's Cactus League game against the Rockies.

Impact Suzuki struggled in his spring training debut, and afterward, he went to the batting cage for some extra work after what he called his "unfortunate" at-bats, according to Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. The Japanese outfielder may need an adjustment period to get used to MLB pitching, but he should be able to get the bat going eventually after slashing .317/.433/.636 in Nippon Professional Baseball last season.
