Seiya Suzuki Adds To Late-Season Surge With Homer

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs scored in Friday's 6-0 win over the Colorado Rockies. The 29-year-old drove one run in on a first-inning single before belting a fourth-inning two-run jack. Suzuki wasn't much of a difference maker since starting the season late with an oblique injury, but he has certainly risen lately as one of fantasy's most prominent league winners since the calendar flipped to August. He's hitting a torrid .346 with 12 home runs, 13 doubles, and 35 RBI in 159 at-bats since Aug. 2. Keep riding Suzuki's hot bat and hope the wheels don't come off ahead of fantasy championship week.

Seiya Suzuki Taking A Seat On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old is in the midst of a 4-for-28 slump over the last seven games so Saturday's off day appears to just be a breather. Suzuki has been a letdown this season when compared to his stellar MLB rookie campaign a year ago. The 28-year-old is slashing .249/.328/.389 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, and five stolen bases over 337 at-bats. The red-hot Mike Tauchman is starting in right field and batting leadoff against Bryce Elder and the Braves.

Seiya Suzuki Back In Tuesday's Lineup

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday to face Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Wade Miley. He's starting in right field and hitting fifth in the batting order. Suzuki missed a few games last week with neck pain and took another day off on Monday, although he did enter the game as a pinch-hitter. It's something to watch heading into next week's All-Star break, but right now it's not serious enough to put him on the injured list. He's gone hitless in his last six games with seven strikeouts and has been on the skids sine the beginning of June offensively, so fantasy managers may want to keep him on the bench. The 28-year-old is hitting a strong .318 (20-for-63) with one of his six home runs against lefties, though.

Seiya Suzuki Still Feeling Neck Issues

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said that outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is still feeling neck issues, which is why he wasn't included in the starting lineup on Monday for the series opener against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. However, Suzuki will be available to pinch hit. The 28-year-old Japanese outfielder missed three games last week but played on Saturday and Sunday against the Cleveland Guardians. He went 0-for-7 in those two games with two walks and still isn't 100 percent, but it doesn't sound like he's a candidate for the injured list just yet. Mike Tauchman is starting in right field and batting leadoff on Monday for the Cubbies against Brewers right-hander Julio Teheran. Tauchman is hitting only .211 (8-for-38) with a homer, seven RBI and 12 K's in his last nine games.

Seiya Suzuki Resting Against Brewers

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki is getting a breather on Monday against the division-rival Milwaukee Brewers. Suzuki had missed three games at the end of last week due to a neck injury, but he returned for the final two games of the weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. The Cubs are just giving him a little more rest after returning on Saturday and Sunday. The 28-year-old Japanese outfielder has gone hitless in 20 at-bats over his last five games to drop his season line to .246/.335/.386 with six home runs, 13 doubles, a triple, 26 RBI and 25 runs scored in 272 trips to the plate over 64 games. Suzuki should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. In his absence on Monday, Mike Tauchman is starting in right field and batting leadoff against Brewers right-hander Julio Teheran.

Seiya Suzuki Returning On Saturday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-handed slugger will make his return to the lineup after missing each of the last three games due to neck stiffness. Luckily, this was a minor injury and didn't force Suzuki to the injured list. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup versus right-hander Tanner Bibee on Saturday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups with Suzuki back in there.

Seiya Suzuki To Take Batting Practice Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) will take batting practice on the field on Friday. Suzuki will miss his third straight game on Friday as the team takes on the Cleveland Guardians, but he's feeling good enough to take batting practice and should be able to return to the lineup before the weekend is over as long as his hitting session on Friday goes well. Mike Tauchman will get another start in right field with Suzuki out, and he'll hit leadoff once again on Friday against Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill. The 28-year-old Suzuki is a regular in the outfield for the Cubbies when healthy, and he's currently hitting .253 (58-for-229) with six home runs, 13 doubles, a triple, 26 RBI and 25 runs scored in 62 games in his second MLB campaign.

Seiya Suzuki Still Absent Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) remains absent from the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies. Suzuki is dealing with tightness in his neck and will be missing his second straight game, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Mike Tauchman will get the start in right field on Thursday and will occupy the leadoff spot for the Cubbies against Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker. On top of the neck injury, Suzuki has been struggling at the plate of late, going 4-for-32 (.125) with no homers and four RBI in his last eight games. Hopefully for his fantasy managers, the 28-year-old Japanese outfielder will return soon and turn things around with the lumber.

Seiya Suzuki Absent On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is absent from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. It sounds like Suzuki woke up with neck stiffness, so the team doesn't want to risk anything. This doesn't sound like a significant injury, so fantasy managers should consider Suzuki as day-to-day. In the meantime, Christopher Morel will cover right field and bat third versus right-hander Aaron Nola. Fantasy managers should expect Suzuki back within the next few days.
