The cubs put Seiya Suzuki on the injured list for 10 days

Cubs defensive player mode Seiya Suzuki In the list of injured for 10 days due to a sprain of the ring finger of his left hand. Well, the right hand Robert Gesselman Assigned to the task, left Brandon Hughes He will join the Cubs after choosing his contract from Triple-A.

Suzuki is set retroactively to 27 May, with the player not playing since an injury forced an early exit in the Cubs’ 20-5 loss to the Reds on 26 May. After a few days of observing Suzuki’s condition, there wasn’t enough improvement to avoid the IL trip, and Chicago’s busy schedule is likely a factor as well. The Cubs have nine games in seven days, including a double-header today with the Brewers and another double-header on Saturday against the Cardinals.

Signed to a big five-year, $85 million off-season deal, Suzuki’s first 163 PA in MLB fared well overall, translating the .245/.344/.432 slash into 116 wRC+ and 119 OPS+. . However, it certainly looks like shooters have got a book on the Suzuki, as it had a 1,090 OPS on his first 72 PA but only 0.545 OPS on his last 91 trips to the plate. Suzuki’s salary and the resumption of his long-running success in Japan could obscure the fact that he’s still a player watching the Major League for the first time, so some fluctuations are inevitable as he adjusts.

The twisted finger adds another hurdle for Suzuki to overcome, although the team was still hoping to be able to come back early today, he might not miss more than 10 days at least. Clint Fraser (Just returned from the same IL) The rookie Nelson Velasquez You will probably get the bulk of the time in the right field until Suzuki or Jason Heyward Return from the list of injured.
