Seiya Suzuki to Start the Season on the Injured List
Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said on Monday that outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) will start the season on the injured list, according to Marquee Sports Network. We already knew that Suzuki wouldn't be ready for Opening Day this week after suffering a sprained PCL in his right knee while playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. The good news for fantasy managers is that the 31-year-old veteran isn't expected to be out long term, and he should make his 2026 season debut at some point in May. With Suzuki out to start the year, fantasy managers should expect some sort of platoon in right field between Michael Conforto and Matt Shaw. Suzuki becomes slightly more risky for those who have yet to draft before Opening Day this week. If his knee injury lingers, he could lose plenty of power at the plate after setting career-highs in homers (32) and RBI (103) in 151 regular-season games for the Cubs in 2025.
