  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Out of Sunday's lineup

    Suzuki is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Suzuki started the previous 47 games and posted a 1.086 OPS during that stretch, but he'll shift to the bench Sunday after the Cubs were eliminated from postseason contention. The 29-year-old is poised to finish his second season in Chicago with an. 842 OPS, 20 homers, 74 RBI and 75 runs in 138 games.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Tallies three hits in loss

    Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

    Suzuki had a tough series in Atlanta due to a costly error in Tuesday's loss, though he did still manage to go 5-for-13 over the three games with four RBI. The outfielder has had a nice season overall with an .843 OPS, 20 home runs and 74 RBI, and the Cubs will need him to keep it up this weekend in Milwaukee as they fight for a playoff spot.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Triples, drives in two Tuesday

    Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a triple and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

    Suzuki continued to contribute at the plate, though it was his costly error in the eighth inning that arguably stood out most on the night. The outfielder had a chance to end the bottom of the eighth inning but misplayed a routine flyball, allowing Atlanta to score twice on the play and pull ahead 7-6. Defensive mishaps don't generally impact fantasy, though Suzuki will need to shake off the blunder quickly and stay locked in offensively to help the Cubs secure a playoff spot.

    Suzuki opened the game's scoring with a first-inning RBI single and then delivered a two-run shot to left field in the bottom of the fourth. He also added another single for good measure in the bottom of the sixth. The 29-year-old is now up to 20 home runs on the season and boasts a .370/.429/.741 slash line with 22 RBI in 21 games since the calendar flipped to September.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Another strong game Wednesday

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Giants.

    For the second straight night, Suzuki recorded three RBI, and his strong play lately is giving the Cubs a big boost in their hunt for a playoff spot. Over his last 10 games, Suzuki is batting .333 with three home runs and 10 RBI. The outfielder should remain locked into a prominent lineup spot as Chicago tries to punch its ticket to the postseason.

    Suzuki went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-8 win over the Giants.

    Suzuki now has three straight multi-hit efforts, with home runs in the last two games. The hot stretch has pushed his batting average up to .273 to go along with an .807 OPS and 16 long balls. Suzuki batted .262 with a .769 OPS and 14 home runs in his first MLB campaign last season, so he's shown some signs of progress across the board and could be poised for a big finish as the Cubs battle for a playoff spot.

With Monday's two hits, the 29-year-old extended his current hit streak to five games amidst a scorching hot stretch. Entering the game, he was slashing .315/.367/.618, good for a 161 wRC+, over the past 30 days.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep again Monday

    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 win over the Tigers.

    Suzuki went deep for the second straight game, giving him 13 long balls for the season. He had 14 home runs as a rookie last year, which certainly seems to be within reach with about a month's worth of games left. Suzuki seems to be settling in during his second MLB campaign after coming over from Japan, and he could be primed for a strong finish in a Chicago lineup that has looked good lately.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep Sunday

    Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

    Suzuki connected for his 12th home run of the season in the fifth inning, continuing a good stretch for the outfielder this month. In August, he's batting .317 with four home runs across 12 games. Suzuki got a few days off at the beginning of the month amid some struggles at the plate, but it seems like the slump is behind him.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Stays hot with home run

    Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Suzuki got a few days off earlier this month amid some struggles, but he's been better lately. Over his last five games, the outfielder has gone 7-for-19 with two home runs. The Cubs invested heavily in Suzuki before the 2022 season, so he should stay in the lineup as long he avoids any more prolonged slumps.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Starts against righty

    Suzuki is starting in right field and batting eighth Friday against the Blue Jays.

    This will be the first time Suzuki will start in consecutive games since July 31. It will also be his first time starting against a right hander (Jose Berrios) since July 29. Suzuki has found himself platooning against left handed pitching, which he is slashing .274/.331/.415 against, but he is hitting below .250 against righties. Coming off a game in which he was a double shy of the cycle, perhaps Suzuki can use that as a catalyst for a resurgence at the plate.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Reaches 10 home runs

    Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

    The triple was just the third of the season for Suzuki and the home run was his 10th, putting him within striking distance of the 14 long balls he hit as a rookie last year. Suzuki started Wednesday, which was his first start in five games amid some recent struggles. Perhaps the strong effort will get him going at the plate.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Slated for start Wednesday

    Cubs manager David Ross said that Suzuki will start Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Suzuki is out of the lineup again Tuesday, marking his fourth straight absence from the starting nine. Ross wanted to give Suzuki a break amidst his struggles -- the 28-year-old is batting just .215/.276/.329 since the intermission. Chicago is lined up to oppose a lefty (David Peterson) on Wednesday and Suzuki may have to settle for short-side platoon duty for the time being.

    Suzuki is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    For the third consecutive game, Suzuki is not in the Cubs' starting lineup. It will also be the 28-year-old's fifth time omitted from the lineup in the last seven games. The outfielder has not performed well since the All-Star break, slashing .218/.289/.333.
