Not expected back this weekend Suzuki (personal) isn't expected to be available for the Cubs' four-game series in Pittsburgh this weekend, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The 28-year-old was placed on the paternity list Saturday and shifted to the restricted list as a procedural move Thursday. His wife has yet to give birth, so Suzuki will remain away from the team for a few more days. Michael Hermosillo should continue to see increased playing time while Suzuki is unavailable.

Shifts to restricted list Suzuki (hand/wrist) was transferred from the paternity list to the restricted list Thursday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Suzuki has been away from the team since Saturday following the birth of his child, and Thursday's move will give him a few additional days with his family since players are only allowed to spend 1-3 days on the paternity list. It's not yet clear when the 28-year-old will be back with the team or whether his hand/wrist issues will impact him upon his return.

Placed on paternity list Suzuki (hand/wrist) was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Suzuki dealt with a hand/wrist injury over the last several days but appeared off the bench Friday against Colorado. However, he'll now spend 1-3 days away from the team following the birth of his child. Esteban Quiroz's contract was selected from Triple-A Iowa as part of a move to provide additional depth in Suzuki's absence.

Not in Friday's lineup Suzuki (wrist) isn't starting Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Suzuki was hit by a pitch on his left hand/wrist Wednesday against the Mets and underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative, per Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago. He'll be held out of the lineup for at least one game while Nelson Velazquez starts in right field and bats eighth.

X-rays on tap Suzuki is undergoing X-rays on his left hand/wrist after he was hit by a pitch during Wednesday's win over the Mets, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run before he was hit by a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. The 28-year-old remained in the game to run the bases and played the field in the bottom of the frame, but he's now heading for medical testing. The Cubs have a scheduled day off Thursday, and Suzuki should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On base four times Sunday Suzuki went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact The rookie reached base all four times Sunday, including a solo home run against Brandon Woodruff in the fourth inning and a double in the ninth against Taylor Rogers. With seven total bases on the day, Suzuki raised his slugging percentage to .422. The outfielder has found a groove at the dish, batting .348 over his last eight games as he ups his case for Rookie of the Year.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Handed rest day Suzuki is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Nelson Velazquez will get the nod in right field while Suzuki takes a seat for the day game after a night game. Suzuki had started in each of the Cubs' last 11 contests, batting just .182 with one home run, five RBI and six additional runs during that stretch.

AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tallies three hits, home run Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Nationals. He was also caught stealing.

Impact The failed stolen base came at a bad time, as it was the second out in the bottom of the ninth inning, but Suzuki otherwise had a great night that included his ninth home run of the season. The rookie got off to a hot start this year with a .279/.405/.529 slash line in April, though he's slowed down since then. Suzuki should still see regular playing time for the rebuilding Cubs, and the Japanese outfielder has the talent to have a strong stretch run.

AUGUST 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Friday Suzuki isn't starting Friday against the Marlins.

Impact Suzuki is getting a breather after he hit just .107 with a double, two RBI, a run and a stolen base over the last seven games. Nelson Velazquez will take his place in right field and bat fifth.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches base five times Suzuki went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's 15-2 win over the Phillies.

Impact Suzuki already had a solid day before he added a two-run shot in the ninth inning of Friday's blowout victory. In 14 games since returning from the injured list, the 27-year-old is slashing .400/.444/.600 with seven RBI and four extra-base hits. Suzuki is up to seven home runs with five steals, 25 runs scored and an .845 OPS through 217 plate appearances this season.

JULY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records three hits, steal in loss Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in a 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Mets in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Suzuki also went 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in the matinee. The 27-year-old outfielder has stolen two bases in his last five games, giving him five in seven attempts this season. He's batting .357 (15-for-42) in 12 contests since returning from a sprained left index finger. He's posted a .271/.353/.453 slash line with six home runs, 26 RBI and 23 runs scored in 207 plate appearances overall as the Cubs' primary right fielder.

Gets rest day Suzuki is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Suzuki looks to be receiving some maintenance for the series finale after he drew starts in the outfield each of the past three days. Nelson Velazquez will check into right field in place of Suzuki, who is hitting .333 with two home runs and a double in five starts since coming off the injured list July 4.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps producing Saturday Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Since returning from the injured list on July 4, Suzuki has been locked in, slashing .333/.364/.667 across six games. The rookie showed a lot of promise early in the season before cooling down a bit, so perhaps he's getting back into a groove. Suzuki has the talent to make a fantasy impact down the stretch, and the Cubs will certainly give him plenty of playing time as long as he stays healthy.

JULY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Wednesday Suzuki is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest with the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki will get a breather after he went 4-for-9 with two homers and four RBI in his first two games after being activated from the 10-day injured list Monday. Nelson Velazquez will take over in right field and bat fifth against Milwaukee.

Suzuki homers again, Hendricks hurt as Cubs top Brewers 8-3

Seiya Suzuki homered for the second straight night as the Chicago Cubs overcame Kyle Hendricks’ early exit and defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3

JULY 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Goes deep again Tuesday Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a home run and three total RBI in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.

Impact A day after hitting an inside-the-park home run, Suzuki had a more conventional long ball Tuesday, taking Milwaukee starter Jason Alexander deep in the fifth inning with a runner on. The outfielder now has six home runs this season and is starting to look locked in like he did in the first few weeks of his rookie campaign. The talent is there for a big second half from Suzuki.

Records inside-the-park homer Suzuki (finger) went 2-for-4 with an inside-the-park home run in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

Impact Suzuki provided a dramatic moment in the top of the ninth inning, hitting a ball that ricocheted off the outfield wall and rolled away from the center fielder, which allowed him to come all the way around and score. Suzuki's fifth homer of the season gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead, but the Brewers rallied for a 5-2 win in 10 innings. This was Suzuki's first game since May 26 due to a sprained left index finer. The 27-year-old from Japan looks ready to roll moving forward, and he should resume an everyday role for the Cubs.
