Seiya Suzuki Absent Again on Saturday
Seiya Suzuki (illness) is out of the lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Moises Ballesteros will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and bat sixth versus right-hander Drew Rasmussen, while Owen Caissie will play right field and hit eighth. Suzuki is dealing with an illness that also kept him out of the Cubs' 6-4 win over the Rays on Friday. The 31-year-old has slashed .244/.324/.461 with 27 homers, 91 RBI, 69 runs scored, and five steals in 611 plate appearances, but his production has fallen off dramatically over the past couple of months. He has hit .204/.333/.269 with two HRs across 204 trips to the plate in the second half of the season.
