  09/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Suzuki (ankle) went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds. Suzuki missed the last two games due to a sprained ankle he sustained during Tuesday's contest, but he looked fully healthy Saturday. The outfielder has had another productive season, and he's set new career highs with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases. Suzuki needs one more run and RBI in the last game of the year to match his career bests in those categories as well. His current .850 OPS would also be a new career high.
