Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Reaches three times in win
Rotowire

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Dealing with cramps
Rotowire
Suzuki was removed from Thursday's game against the Orioles due to cramps in his calf, Vinnie Duber of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional RBI before coming out of the game in the eighth inning. He didn't seem to be very concerned about his injury after the contest, so the veteran slugger may be able to return to the lineup Friday in Cincinnati without missing a start.

Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Orioles.
Suzuki blasted his 14th home run of the season in the seventh inning as the Cubs scored five times in the frame to pull away from Baltimore. The outfielder came into the contest mired in an 0-for-15 slump across his last four games, but before that, he had strung together a six-game hitting streak with three long balls and 11 RBI. Suzuki should remain a strong fantasy option after posting a career-best 32 home runs and 103 RBI during the 2025 regular season.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Provides offense Friday
Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-2 with a walk, a solo home run and two total RBI in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers.
Facing Milwaukee ace Jacob Misiorowski is a tall task, and the Cubs only mustered three hits as a team, but Suzuki made the most of his with his 11th home run of the year. The outfielder is having a productive June with a .300/.398/.543 slash line, four long balls and 14 RBI across 21 games. It's also been encouraging that Suzuki has stayed relatively healthy after a right knee sprain suffered in the World Baseball Classic delayed the start to his regular season.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: On bench Thursday
Rotowire
Suzuki isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.
Suzuki will get a chance to regroup Thursday after playing in both games of Wednesday's twin bill and going 0-for-10 at the plate with six strikeouts. Pedro Ramirez will fill in as Chicago's designated hitter and bat seventh.
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 16-2 win over the Blue Jays.

The outfielder is in a nice groove lately with three straight multi-hit efforts, and he's slashing .353/.441/.627 in 16 games this month with three home runs, 10 runs scored and 12 RBI. Suzuki should continue to produce at a high level as a key cog in Chicago's offensive attack.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Drawing back into lineup
Rotowire
Suzuki (knee) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup Monday against the Rockies.
Suzuki was scratched from the starting nine ahead of Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Giants, but manager Craig Counsell suggested that Suzuki was held out as a precaution after he had been forced out of Saturday's win due to right knee discomfort. The 31-year-old's knee appears to have responded well enough to the day off for the Cubs to feel comfortable inserting him back into the lineup Monday, albeit in a non-defensive role. Suzuki will carry a season-best 10-game hitting streak into the contest.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Playing through knee issue Sunday
Rotowire
Suzuki (knee) will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Though the Cubs will turn to Michael Conforto to cover right field, the right knee issue that forced Suzuki out of Saturday's contest in the fourth inning won't keep him out of the lineup entirely Sunday as he looks to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Given that Suzuki tweaked the same knee in the World Baseball Classic and opened the season on the injured list, it wouldn't be surprising if the Cubs limited him to DH duties for the next few games as a precaution.
Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Dealing with right knee discomfort
Rotowire
Suzuki exited Saturday's game against the Giants due to right knee discomfort, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Suzuki was removed from the game in the bottom of the fourth inning after he attempted to make a running catch in right field. The right knee is the same one he sustained a strained PCL during the World Baseball Classic, causing him to miss the first 12 games of the season. However, it's not clear if the current knee injury is related to the prior one. Matt Shaw replaced Suzuki in the outfield following his departure.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Scratched from starting nine
Rotowire
The Cubs scratched Suzuki (knee) from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After exiting in the fourth inning of Saturday's 6-1 win due to right knee discomfort, Suzuki had been included in the Cubs' initial lineup for Sunday's game as their designated hitter. However, manager Craig Counsell indicated that the Cubs just wanted to be conservative with Suzuki by holding him out for the series finale, which will give the 31-year-old more time to recover from the knee issue. Moises Ballesteros will end up getting the nod at DH on Sunday in place of Suzuki, who will put his 10-game hitting streak on hold, unless he's called upon for a pinch-hitting situation. Suzuki would still seem to have a good chance at rejoining the starting nine for Monday's game against the Rockies, either at DH or at his usual spot in right field.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Doubles twice in win
Rotowire
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 5-1 win over the Giants.
Suzuki is in a nice groove lately, as he now has hits in nine straight contests. The outfielder has five extra-base hits during the hot stretch, and he's now up to a .767 OPS for the season. Suzuki still has some work to do to get his OPS above .800, which is a level he's reached in each of the last three years, but he does seem to be trending in the right direction.
