Seiya Suzuki Sitting On Saturday
6 months agoChicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (side) is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's tilt against the rival Cincinnati Reds. The 29-year-old said after Friday's game that he asked to be removed from the game in the sixth inning due to some tightness in his oblique, and it appears the club will give him at least another day to iron out the issue. Of course, the team will proceed with caution, especially since Suzuki already spent some time this year on the injured list with an oblique injury. Suzuki is hitting .261 with seven homers, three stolen bases, and a .784 OPS across 39 appearances on the season. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his situation given that this is the second time Suzuki has dealt with an oblique injury in a short period of time.
