Remains out for Game 1 Monday Suzuki (finger) is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
Sitting in second straight game Suzuki (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Impact Suzuki remains on the bench for the second day in a row due to the sprained left index finger he sustained in Thursday's 20-5 loss to the Reds. Though X-rays taken on the finger returned negative and Suzuki has since reported some improvement, a trip to the 10-day injured list could be in the cards if he's unable to return to the lineup within the next couple of days. Rafael Ortega will spell Suzuki in right field in Sunday's series finale.

However, he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the fourth. The exact nature and severity of the 27-year-old's injury aren't yet clear, but Rafael Ortega should see an uptick in at-bats if Suzuki is forced to miss time.

Back in lineup Saturday Suzuki is starting in right field and batting third in Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact After a day off Friday, Suzuki slots back into the heart of Chicago's order. The outfielder has been mostly solid so far in his MLB debut with an .803 OPS across 35 games, though he has just a .611 OPS in May along with a nearly 36 percent strikeout rate this month.

Drives in two Tuesday Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Pirates.
Impact Suzuki missed three straight games last week due to right ankle soreness, but he's looked fine since returning, delivering hits in four straight contests. The outfielder doubled in two of those four games, though he has seen a bit of a power outage, as he's gone without a home run since April 17. Suzuki will still have plenty of fantasy value if he's delivering extra-base hits and driving in runs, but his value will increase if he starts hitting the ball over the wall more regularly.

Notches first MLB steal Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.
Impact After hitting a single in the first inning, Suzuki stole second base against the battery of Zach Thompson and Andrew Knapp. It was his first big-league steal. Suzuki was in the middle of the action all day in the Cubs' blowout win and now sits with a 1.238 OPS in the early going. He only stole nine bases last year in Japan, but Suzuki looks like he could be a top fantasy contributor in his first season stateside even with modest production in the SB category.
