Seiya Suzuki Dealing With Knee Discomfort
Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) left Saturday night's game early against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park with right-knee discomfort, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. Suzuki was attempting to catch a fly ball and hit the ground awkwardly in the bottom of the fourth inning. Before leaving, he went 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout in the team's eventual 6-1 win. It's unclear how serious the 31-year-old's injury is, but fantasy managers should keep in mind that it's the same knee that caused him to miss the first 12 games of the 2026 season due to a strained PCL that he suffered in the World Baseball Classic. At the very least, Suzuki will most likely sit out of Sunday's series finale in the Bay Area, and he might also be unavailable for the start of a series on Monday back at Wrigley Field versus the Colorado Rockies. Matt Shaw replaced Suzuki in right field on Saturday, and he would likely benefit the most from increased playing time if Suzuki needs a trip to the injured list. Suzuki is currently hitting .255/.339/.433 with a .772 OPS, 10 homers, 28 RBI, and 31 runs scored through his first 208 at-bats of the year.
