Suzuki (ankle) will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and bat fourth Saturday against the Reds.
Suzuki sprained his ankle during Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, but he'll now return to the starting nine following a two-game absence. The 30-year-old has been extremely hot at the plate recently, recording a hit in 13 of his last 14 games while slashing .364/.462/.545 in that span.
