Seiya Suzuki - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Targeting Monday return Suzuki (finger) hopes to return from the 10-day injured list Monday against the Brewers, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Suzuki began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday and has gone 3-for-6 with a homer, a double, two runs and two RBI in the minors. He'll reclaim his spot as the primary right fielder once he's ultimately activated. Prior to his absence, the 27-year-old slashed .245/.344/.432 with four homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs and three stolen bases.

Rehab assignment begins Thursday Suzuki (finger) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Suzuki is working out with the Cubs in Chicago on Wednesday but should be in the lineup for the Triple-A club a day later. He's been out for over a month, so he'll likely require several rehab games before he's reinstated from the injured list.

Nearing rehab assignment Suzuki (finger) is getting close to a rehab assignment, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Impact He took live batting practice Tuesday and has been doing so for a few days. Suzuki has been dealing with a sprained left index finger for about a month. It sounds like a return in early July is in play.

Slated for live BP Suzuki (finger) will take part in live batting practice in Arizona on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Suzuki reported to the Cubs' spring training complex in Arizona on Monday and recently resumed hitting in the batting cage. He'll now progress to face live pitching, which could be one of the final steps in his recovery process prior to returning to game action. The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since May 30, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Cubs.

Hitting again Suzuki (finger) has resumed hitting in the batting cage since reporting to the Cubs' spring training complex in Arizona for his rehab program, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times r...

Impact Suzuki is expected to gradually build up his hitting progression in Arizona, with the rookie ultimately needing to face live pitching in batting practice or simulated games before he's cleared for game action. The Cubs haven't indicated whether Suzuki will require a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, where he's resided since May 30.

Heading to Arizona for rehab Suzuki (finger) will report to the Cubs' spring training complex in Arizona on Monday to continue his rehab program, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Meanwhile, the Cubs will begin a four-game series in Pittsburgh on Monday, so Suzuki is heading to Arizona since the big club's road trip will make it more difficult to facilitate rehab activities for the rookie. Manager David Ross noted that Suzuki is expected to take as much batting practice in Arizona as he can in the next few days, but the skipper didn't indicate whether the 28-year-old would participate in games with the Cubs' rookie-level Complex League affiliate. The swelling in Suzuki's sprained left index finger has subsided since he was placed on the 10-day injured list May 30, but the Cubs have not yet set a target date for his return to the lineup.

Taking dry swings Friday Suzuki (finger) has felt better in recent days and will take dry swings Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Suzuki was shut down from hitting for five days, but he's felt better every day since being shut down. The 27-year-old has made slow progress in his recovery so far, but manager David Ross is optimistic that the outfielder's progress will speed up now that some of the pain and swelling in his finger have subsided.

Resting for five days Suzuki will rest for the next five days to allow his strained left ring finger to heal, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Impact Reports from earlier in the week indicated that Suzuki was closing in on a return, but it seems as though he's hit a bit of a wall. He hasn't made much progress in recent days, and the Cubs elected to pause his hitting program to give him more time to heal. An updated timeline may start to become clear once the five-day rest is over.

Not making progress Suzuki's finger has "stayed almost status quo" according to manager David Ross, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Earlier in the week, it appeared as though Suzuki could be back during the weekend series against the Yankees, but that now appears to be off the table. The outfielder's sprained finger has already cost him two weeks, and the Cubs don't seem to have much clarity regarding how much more time he'll miss. The Cubs aren't close to the playoff race in a season which was always likely to be a rebuilding year, so the team doesn't appear to have much urgency about getting him back on the field. Suzuki is therefore unlikely to return until the Cubs are confident he's fully healthy, as they don't want to waste the rest of his rookie season dealing with a nagging injury.

Impact Suzuki, who is on the IL with a sprained left ring finger, took batting practice Tuesday and is scheduled to turn in a full workout Wednesday. The Cubs will likely check back in with Suzuki on Thursday before deciding whether he's fit to make the trip to New York or if he'll need to return to Chicago to continue his rehab program. Whenever Suzuki is activated, he should take back an everyday role in right field.

Takes batting practice Suzuki (finger) took batting practice on the field Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Suzuki is said to be progressing in his recovering from a sprained left ring finger, but the Cubs have yet to note when exactly he might return from the 10-day injured list. Jason Heyward will continue to serve as the Cubs' primary right fielder while Suzuki is on the shelf.

Hits in cages Suzuki (finger) hit in the batting cages Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Suzuki landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ring finger Monday, but he's been able to hit in the cage on back-to-back days. The 27-year-old is eligible to return as early as next week, but it's not yet known when he'll be cleared for game action. Jason Heyward has seen most of the playing time in right field recently while Christopher Morel has mainly started in center.

MAY 30, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Placed on injured list Suzuki was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left ring finger, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The injury has kept Suzuki sidelined since Thursday, so the transaction can be backdated three days, allowing him to return next Tuesday. Whether or not a minimum-length stay is in play is not yet clear. Reliever Brandon Hughes was called up to take his place on the roster, with Rafael Ortega, Nelson Velazquez and Clint Frazier likely to spend time in right field in his absence.

Remains out of lineup for nightcap Suzuki (finger) isn't starting the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Impact Manager David Ross said after Monday's matinee that Suzuki could require a trip to the injured list, so it isn't very surprising to see him remain out of the lineup for the second game of the twin bill. Nelson Velazquez will remain in right field and bat sixth.

MAY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could require IL stint Manager David Ross indicated Monday that Suzuki (finger) could require a trip to the injured list, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Suzuki wasn't in the lineup for the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers, marking his third consecutive game on the bench. However, the outfielder participated in pregame activities and didn't feel very good afterward. If Suzuki ultimately requires time on the 10-day IL, Rafael Ortega, Clint Frazier and Nelson Velazquez should see additional playing time in the outfield.
