Suzuki (ankle) went 2-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
Suzuki missed the last two games due to a sprained ankle he sustained during Tuesday's contest, but he looked fully healthy Saturday. The outfielder has had another productive season, and he's set new career highs with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases. Suzuki needs one more run and RBI in the last game of the year to match his career bests in those categories as well. His current .850 OPS would also be a new career high.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Exits with sprained ankle
Rotowire
Suzuki was removed from Tuesday's contest against the Phillies due to a sprained right ankle, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Suzuki went 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's victory, but his day was cut short after he limped into the dugout following Cody Bellinger's three-run triple in the sixth inning. Suzuki's removal may have been precautionary -- given it was a 10-2 ballgame when he was taken out -- but there's a chance he sits out Wednesday's game so that his ankle can properly recover.
Suzuki isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against Washington.
Suzuki's 0-for-3 performance in Friday's win put an end to his 10-game hitting streak, during which he went 16-for-41 with two home runs and six RBI. He'll get a chance to rest Saturday while Patrick Wisdom fills in as Chicago's DH and bats seventh.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Suzuki went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Nationals.
Suzuki blasted his 21st home run of the season in the third inning, which pushed him past the previous career best of 20 that he set last year. The outfielder needs five more RBI and runs scored to set new career highs in those categories as well. On top of that, Suzuki has recorded a career-high 15 stolen bases, making it a productive fantasy campaign overall for the 30-year-old.
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics.
Suzuki had three singles among 18 hits overall for the Cubs. The outfielder has once again been a steady performer, as he's now batting .278 with an .835 OPS across 123 games. That's in line with the .285 average and .842 OPS he posted last season. Suzuki also has exactly 20 home runs in each of the last two years, though he still has time to set a new career high in 2024.
