Player Outlook
It took four seasons, but Seiya Suzuki finally came through on the power numbers fantasy managers and Chicago fans have been pining for since the slugger came over from the JPL prior to the 2022 season. Suzuki leaned into a heavier elevate-and-celebrate approach as career highs in Pull percentage and FlyBall percentage led to career-best totals in home runs and RBI. The new approach came with the tax of his batting average, which declined nearly 40 points from where it had been the two seasons prior, which simply dropped his batting average down to a league-average level.The trade-off for increased run production was likely worth it to many fantasy managers who also enjoyed Suzuki avoiding the injured list for the first time in his major league career. He now enters the final year of his initial contract with the Cubs, so if you are a believer in contract year magic, especially after watching what Kyle Schwarber just did in his walk year, this is a 2026 target for you. Realistically, his 2025 performance is repeatable, while 40 homers would be a super stretch goal.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Moved to 10-day injured list

    Rotowire
    The Cubs placed Suzuki (knee) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Suzuki was diagnosed with a strained PCL in his right knee after hurting himself while playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. He resumed baseball activities last week and is not expected to be sidelined long. Michael Conforto should get the bulk of the reps in right field for the Cubs while Suzuki is out.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Resumes light activity

    Rotowire
    Suzuki (knee) has resumed light throwing and hitting as the Cubs determine if an IL stint will be necessary to start the regular season, MLB.com reports. Suzuki sustained a sprained PCL in his right knee during Team Japan's World Baseball Classic quarterfinal loss to Venezuela on March 14. The organization will likely decide sometime over the weekend if the outfielder will be ready in time for Opening Day. Even if Suzuki does need to spend some time on the injured list early in the season, manager Craig Counsell said he thinks it will be a fairly short-term issue, per Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Dealing with right knee discomfort

    Rotowire
    Suzuki was removed Saturday from Team Japan's World Baseball Classic game versus Venezuela due to right knee discomfort and will continue to be evaluated, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Suzuki attempted to steal second base in the bottom of the first inning with a headfirst slide but came up limping afterward. He was shaking his right leg as he walked off the field with the trainer. Shota Morishita replaced Suzuki in center field. The Cubs will surely want to get Suzuki back to Arizona and get a complete diagnosis on their right fielder.

Suzuki has also set a new career high in RBI this year with 97, and he leads the team in that department.

    Rotowire
    Suzuki isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Reds. Suzuki has gone 1-for-8 with two walks and an HBP since returning from an illness, and the Cubs will now give him a day to reset. Willi Castro will start in right field Saturday while Moises Ballesteros serves as the DH.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Playing after bout with illness

    Rotowire
    Suzuki (illness) will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates. After being held out of action for each of the last five games due to a bout with bronchitis, Suzuki has finally made enough improvement in his recovery to re-enter the Chicago lineup for the series finale. With Kyle Tucker (calf) still on the injured list, Suzuki will pick up a start in the corner outfield, which will keep the designated-hitter spot open up for the hot-hitting Moises Ballesteros.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Still sitting Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Suzuki (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates. Suzuki will sit for a fifth consecutive game as he continues to deal with an undisclosed illness.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Collects two more hits Saturday

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies. After slumping for much of August, Suzuki has produced consecutive multi-hit games at Coors Field. The slugging outfielder is still batting just .235 in 26 games this month, and he's only gone deep once in that time. Overall, Suzuki has a .247 batting average and .803 OPS to go along with 27 home runs, which is second on the team to Pete Crow-Armstrong's 28.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Tallies two hits in win

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Pirates. Suzuki got off to a slow start coming out of the All-Star break, but he's been back in form lately. Over his last 10 games, the outfielder is slashing .281/.385/.438 with a home run, four RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Suzuki is tied with Pete Crow-Armstrong for the team lead in home runs with 27. Suzuki also leads the Cubs with 86 RBI this year.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Taking seat Thursday

    Rotowire
    Suzuki is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto. Suzuki is sporting just a .182/.312/.286 batting line with two home runs in 22 contests since the All-Star break. Owen Caissie is in the designated-hitter spot in his major-league debut Thursday, and while it's unlikely Caissie will displace Suzuki in the lineup on a regular basis, he could eat into the latter's playing time a bit as the Cubs look to jumpstart a sluggish offense.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Snaps slump with big afternoon

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Reds. After getting a breather Tuesday, Suzuki returned for the Wednesday afternoon series finale and promptly mashed his 27th home run of the season, which ties him with Pete Crow-Armstrong for the team lead. Suzuki had been scuffling before Wednesday with just a .143/.284/.214 slash line in 16 games since the All-Star break, but perhaps the day off helped him get back on track.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Reaches twice, steals base in win

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Royals. He also stole a base. Suzuki has been a slugger all season, but he displayed some uncommon wheels in Tuesday's win. The outfielder is now up to three stolen stolen bases in five attempts. Suzuki swiped 16 bases last year, but fantasy managers are likely OK swapping speed for power. The 30-year-old is tied for sixth in the majors with 26 home runs and is fourth in MLB with 81 RBI.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Hits key home run Friday

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. Suzuki's 26th home run of the season with two runners on in the first inning ended up being the difference in the game. The outfielder has already set a new career high in long balls, and he's now up to sixth in the majors this year. Suzuki's 80 RBI, which are also a new career best, are good for third in MLB, trailing only sluggers Cal Raleigh with 82 and Aaron Judge with 81. Now in his fourth season since coming over from Japan, Suzuki is really taking off as an offensive force for the Cubs.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Goes deep in rout

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-3 win over the Cardinals. Suzuki was overshadowed a bit by Pete Crow-Armstrong, who had two home runs in the game, as well as Michael Busch, who went deep three times. However, the former still managed to provide some fireworks of his own, and he's now up to 24 long balls, which leads the team and is good for sixth in the majors. Suzuki has gone deep six times over his last 12 games, during which time he also has a robust 1.115 OPS.

  • Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Blasts 23rd home run

    Rotowire
    Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Guardians. Suzuki has been in a nice power groove recently, as he now has five home runs in his last nine games. For the season, the slugging outfielder has 23 long balls, which is a new career best, surpassing the 21 he hit in 2024. Suzuki is now sixth in the majors in home runs, while he's also second in the majors with 70 RBI. The 30-year-old remains a productive and consistent fantasy asset, reaching the 20-homer plateau the last three years.
