Cub sl Seiya Suzuki According to the team’s announcement, the game against the Dodgers was withdrawn from the game tonight due to pain in the right wrist. Suzuki serves as the club’s health department in tonight’s game Miguel Amaya In the fifth inning. As Marquee Sports Network’s Taylor McGregor pointed out during the club’s airing, Suzuki treated the soreness on his wrist for the first time in the club’s track and field match against Sacramento last week. Since the series, Suzuki has played only DH in eight games.
It is unclear whether Suzuki’s injury is a daily routine or whether it requires a trip to the injury list, but either result will leave Chicago without one of the best batsmen. The Cubs’ offense has entered a hot start of the year, helping the club achieve a stable record of 10-7, opening the season with MLB’s best 113 scores. Nearly seven times per game, a large part of the piece is an offseason duo Kyle Tucker (206 WRC+ enters the game tonight) and Suzuki (170 WRC+).
While Suzuki’s season started with Suzuki is certainly impressive, he has been the club’s best batsman in the three years before the Tucker trade this winter. Since coming out of Japan before the 2022 season, Suzuki has hit .279/.356/.473 with 131 WRC+ and 131 WRC+ Pete Alonso and Joc Pederson The 22nd time of qualified MLB hitters during this time. Last year, he was even more impressive when he hit .283/.366/.482 with 138 WRC+ 138 in 132 games. Like Suzuki’s numbers, it’s impressive that staying healthy has been his challenge for years. After playing 111 games in his rookie season, Suzuki also missed time due to a tilt pull over the past two seasons due to a sprained finger.
Whether this latest illness needs to be on the list of injuries, but fortunately, it’s quite a good fit, even their top hitters, remains to be seen. Justin Turner Signed with Chicago in the offseason to serve as the veteran on the bench Michael Busch At first base, while he hit 0.250/.346/.250 this season, the production had a sample size of just 26 sets, during which Turner had the same strikeout and walking rate. Given his over-average record of attack rates spanning over a decade, Turner should also be able to get into the lineup and serve as an effective fill option, even if he can’t expect the elite production he has proposed so far this year.
If the Cubs decided to strengthen the roster with one of their prospects at Triple-A instead of relying on Turner, the inspiration of these options is less inspiring. Kevin Alcantara and James Triantos Even with the club’s Iowa members, they have not moved forward and are calling on any player to help the club become a club in a fight against minor league pitching. Owen Caissie After posting 121 WRC+ at the level of last season, hitting a stronger .267/.365/.538 in seven games this year with a stronger .267/.365/.538 in seven games, but his preference for three-pointers makes his 40% strikeout rate even more worrying.
