Seiya Suzuki has Sprained Knee, Opening Day Availability Unclear
Updating a previous report, the Chicago Cubs have clarified that outfielder Seiya Suzuki's right-knee injury involves a sprained posterior cruciate ligament, according to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. Suzuki can still do baseball activities while receiving treatment for his knee, but it's "unclear when he will be able to start the season." Although it's probably more likely than not that the 31-year-old veteran opens the 2026 regular season on the injured list, it's ultimately good news for the Cubs. The fact that Suzuki even still has a chance to play on Opening Day in late March is a positive for Chicago and fantasy managers. Until Suzuki is able to return to the Cubbies' lineup, Matt Shaw and Michael Conforto are expected to share playing time in right field. The No. 27-ranked fantasy outfielder at RotoBaller injured his knee trying to steal second base on Saturday in the World Baseball Classic contest against Venezuela while playing for Team Japan.
