Seiya Suzuki Diagnosed With Strained PCL
Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) has been diagnosed with a strained PCL in his knee, according to Bruce Levine of the Marquee Sports Network. As of now, it's unclear if Suzuki will go on the injured list to begin the 2026 regular season. Suzuki underwent an MRI exam after injuring his knee while playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic on Saturday against Venezuela, and the 31-year-old has been shut down from baseball activities since. Thankfully, Suzuki isn't dealing with any torn ligaments in his knee, which could have ended his 2026 season. However, with Opening Day coming up in less than two weeks, we'd bet on the Cubs putting Suzuki on the injured list to begin the year. In the meantime, Matt Shaw and Michael Conforto will likely platoon for Chicago in right field. The injury makes Suzuki a bit riskier in fantasy baseball drafts for managers looking for power. Suzuki had a career-best 32 home runs and 103 RBI in 151 regular-season games for the Cubbies last year in his fourth year in the big leagues.
