Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Scores, drives in run Saturday
Rotowire
Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets.
Suzuki had been scuffling a bit before the two-hit effort, going 0-for-13 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. The veteran outfielder usually doesn't slump for too long, however, as he batted .283 or better each of the last two seasons. Suzuki is batting .250 at the moment, and he will likely push that figure up over the summer based on his MLB track record.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Back in action Friday
Rotowire
Suzuki (wrist) is batting third as the designated hitter Friday against the Phillies.
Suzuki was scratched from Wednesday's starting nine due to a recurrence of a wrist issue, though he's good to go following Thursday's team off day. The 30-year-old has cooled off a bit lately with a .208 batting average (5-for-24) in his past six contests, but it's been a productive start to the campaign overall with six homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs and a .276/.354/.540 slash line in 99 plate appearances.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Homers in Friday's win
Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 13-11 win over the Diamondbacks.
Suzuki was one of four Chicago players to go deep in the wild win, with Carson Kelly launching two home runs. Suzuki now has five home runs for the year to go along with a strong .913 OPS, which would represent a new career high. He can be considered a reliable fantasy option in all formats.
Suzuki (wrist) will start at designated hitter and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Padres.
Suzuki missed three starts with right wrist soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in Wednesday's series finale. The 30-year-old is sporting a .292/.390/.538 batting line with four home runs in his first 17 contests this season.
Suzuki (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Diego.
Tuesday marks the third consecutive game that Suzuki will miss after leaving Saturday's contest early with a wrist issue. Manager Craig Counsell said immediately after Suzuki got hurt that the 30-year-old can be considered day-to-day, though the Cubs may consider placing him on the injured list if he doesn't return to the lineup soon. Justin Turner will serve as Chicago's designated hitter in Suzuki's place Tuesday.
Suzuki (wrist) isn't starting Monday's game against the Padres.
Suzuki can continue to be considered day-to-day while dealing with a right wrist injury. Justin Turner will see another start in Suzuki's absence, as he'll slot into the DH spot and bat third against Dylan Cease in Monday's series opener.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire

Suzuki was lifted from Saturday's contest in the top of the fifth inning due to right wrist pain. Counsell said Suzuki initially injured the wrist Monday against the Rangers. If Suzuki is unable to play in Sunday's series finale against Los Angeles, Justin Turner would be the most logical candidate to fill in as the designated hitter.
