Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Blasts 25th home run Sunday
Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Reds.
Suzuki was 0-for-4 with a strikeout until his final at-bat of the game in the eighth inning, when he crushed his 25th home run of the season. It was the talented outfielder's first long ball this month, and his overall total is the second highest of his MLB career, trailing only the 32 homers he hit in 151 regular-season games last year. Suzuki missed a little time to begin 2026 due to a right knee sprain suffered in the World Baseball Classic, but it's been another strong offensive campaign for the 32-year-old slugger.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Keeps rolling Monday
Rotowire
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 17-3 win over the Brewers
Suzuki had a rare 0-for-5 game Sunday, but he got right back into the groove Monday. The outfielder recorded his third three-hit effort across his last four contests, and he finishes August batting .303 with a sharp .957 OPS in 27 games. With a prime spot in the heart of a potent Chicago lineup, Suzuki should remain one of the top offensive performers in fantasy baseball during the stretch run.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Stays hot in Saturday's rout
Rotowire
Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Saturday's 17-5 win over the Reds.
Suzuki tallied his second straight three-hit effort as he helped lead the Cubs to a comfortable victory. The outfielder hit his 23rd home run of the season, but his first since Aug. 17, and he could reach the 30-homer plateau for the second consecutive season if his power stroke gets going. Even if he doesn't get to 30 long balls, Suzuki is having a strong campaign, and his current .862 OPS would represent a new career best in MLB.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Blasts 20th home run in win
Rotowire
Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two total RBI in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Nationals.
Suzuki blasted his second home run of the month and 20th of the season to help power Chicago's offense to victory. The slugging outfielder has now gone deep 20 or more times in each of the last four years, and he could register his second consecutive 30-homer campaign with a strong finish. Suzuki remains a productive fantasy option who is locked into a premium spot in a strong lineup.

Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Orioles.
Suzuki blasted his 14th home run of the season in the seventh inning as the Cubs scored five times in the frame to pull away from Baltimore. The outfielder came into the contest mired in an 0-for-15 slump across his last four games, but before that, he had strung together a six-game hitting streak with three long balls and 11 RBI.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Scratched from starting nine
Rotowire
The Cubs scratched Suzuki (knee) from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After exiting in the fourth inning of Saturday's 6-1 win due to right knee discomfort, Suzuki had been included in the Cubs' initial lineup for Sunday's game as their designated hitter. However, manager Craig Counsell indicated that the Cubs just wanted to be conservative with Suzuki by holding him out for the series finale, which will give the 31-year-old more time to recover from the knee issue. Moises Ballesteros will end up getting the nod at DH on Sunday in place of Suzuki, who will put his 10-game hitting streak on hold, unless he's called upon for a pinch-hitting situation. Suzuki would still seem to have a good chance at rejoining the starting nine for Monday's game against the Rockies, either at DH or at his usual spot in right field.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Playing through knee issue Sunday
Rotowire
Suzuki (knee) will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and No. 5 batter in Sunday's game against the Giants.
Though the Cubs will turn to Michael Conforto to cover right field, the right knee issue that forced Suzuki out of Saturday's contest in the fourth inning won't keep him out of the lineup entirely Sunday as he looks to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Given that Suzuki tweaked the same knee in the World Baseball Classic and opened the season on the injured list, it wouldn't be surprising if the Cubs limited him to DH duties for the next few games as a precaution.

Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Homers again in rout
Rotowire
Suzuki went 1-for-1 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 18-3 loss to the Giants.
Suzuki's eighth-inning home run was about the only bright spot for the Cubs in the ugly loss. That's now two long balls in three days for the slugging outfielder, who is up to nine homers for the season across 50 games. Suzuki popped a career-best 32 home runs in 151 regular-season contests last year, and he could make a run at that figure in 2026 if he starts to heat up.
