Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki cracked one of the club's two home runs in a 3-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday. Suzuki went deep against left-hander Andrew Heaney in the bottom of the sixth inning for his 17th HR and 57th RBI of the season. He finished the evening 1-for-3 and is now slashing a strong .266/.325/.548 in 289 plate appearances. Suzuki averaged 20 homers and 73 RBI over the previous two seasons, but he's on pace to surpass those numbers with ease in 2025. The 30-year-old will face a difficult test Friday against Pirates star righty Paul Skenes. Suzuki is 3-for-11 with a homer, four strikeouts, and a walk against the ace.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki was among the team's offensive standouts in a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Suzuki slugged a pair of solo home runs, one off left-hander Tyler Holton and another against righty Chase Lee, to finish the afternoon 2-for-4. He hadn't homered in a 10-game span dating back to May 25. The 30-year-old now has 16 HRs to go with a terrific .269/.332/.536 line and 55 RBI through 268 plate appearances. Suzuki is well on his way to eclipsing his career-high marks in HR (21) and RBI (74). He'll take on Tigers righty Jack Flaherty on Sunday. Suzuki has struggled against Flaherty over a small sample, having gone 0-for-5 with four strikeouts and a walk.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki continued his hot stretch at the plate during Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Suzuki has been crushing the Reds in this series and that continued on Sunday. He went 3-for-4 at the plate with a double, home run, and three RBI in the win. Suzuki finished this series with seven hits, two homers and six RBI in three games. He has been one of the primary contributors in this lineup and is one of the better fantasy options right now.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in his team's 13-6 road victory against the Cincinnati Reds. The 30-year-old added a single, a double, and scored three runs in the huge effort. It's the second time in three outings he's had a nearly identical stat line, with the only difference being an extra RBI and a walk from his matchup with the Marlins on Tuesday. Suzuki is well on his way to smashing the personal best mark of 21 homers he set in 2024. In fact, he could do it by the All-Star break if he keeps up this pace. Whether that comes to fruition remains to be seen. Regardless, he and fellow outfielders Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong have formed quite the formidable trio for Chicago. All three rank in the top ten of RBI producers and top 15 of home run hitters in the league.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI, and three runs scored in Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Marlins. The 30-year-old is enjoying a nice power breakout so far in 2025, as this was his 12th of the year. That is already over halfway to the 21 and 20 homers he hit in 2024 and 2023, respectively. He's also been an RBI machine in the heart of the Cubs' order, driving in 43 runs in 45 games. He's a borderline top-20 fantasy outfielder for the rest of the season for fantasy.

ChicagoCubs outfielderSeiya Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's 5-2 win over the Marlins. It was the 30-year-old's 10th home run of the season but first since May 1. The Japanese slugger's bat has gone cold over the last week and a half, going 5-for-43 (.116) over the last 10 games and seeing his batting average drop from .295 to .245 afterMonday's game. He's having a fine season for fantasy overall hitting third in the Cubs' lineup, collecting 34 RBI and scoring22 times, although one steal is a bit of a letdown afterswiping 16 last season. Still, the right-handed hitters owns a .351 wOBA and 126 wRC+, and should continueto produce with a 16.0 percent barrel rate and 50.0 percent hard-hit rate.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki flexed his muscles in Thursday's 8-3 win over the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park to help spoil right-hander Paul Skenes' day. Serving as the designated hitter and batting out of the three-hole, Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk to improve his season average to .295 and his OPS to .995. He took Skenes deep in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie as part of a three-homer inning for the Cubbies. The 30-year-old's second dinger was a two-run shot in the fifth inning to give him his second two-homer game of his career. Suzuki has been hot when healthy and now has three home runs in his last three games. He is now slashing a robust .295/.365/.625 with nine home runs and 28 RBI through his first 28 contests. Suzuki is obviously a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

After that, Suzuki drove in another run with another single in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old went 2-for-4 with three RBI as he seemed to be the only source of offense considering the Cubs scored four total runs. Suzuki has registered six hits over his last three games. He's slashing .292/.361/.552 with six home runs and 23 RBI this season. Suzuki has proven to be a reliable option in the middle of the Cubs lineup.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field. Suzuki will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker. A wrist injury has bothered Suzuki of late, causing him to be scratched from Wednesday's game. But the 30-year-old is back in action to kick off the weekend series against the Phillies, and he should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. The Japanese outfielder has three hits in six career at-bats against Walker with two RBI. He's also hitting a nice .276 (24-for-87) on the year with six home runs, 20 RBI, a steal and 14 runs scored. Suzuki has cooled off at the plate a bit of late, going 5-for-24 in his last six games, but he should still be returned to starting lineup in a solid matchup.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) has been scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field due to right-wrist soreness, according to the team. Suzuki is being considered day-to-day. Veteran Justin Turner will serve as the designated hitter and will bat third against Dodgers right-hander Ben Casparius. Fantasy managers will want to make sure Suzuki is out of their lineup for Wednesday's action, but hopefully he'll be feeling good enough to return for Friday's series opener against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies after an off day on Thursday. It's a bit concerning for the 30-year-old, though, as he also missed three games last week with the same issue. Since returning in the last five games, Suzuki has gone 5-for-22 with a double, two homers and five RBI. The Japanese outfielder is playing well early on with a .276/.354/.540 slash line and six homers.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is returning to the starting lineup on Wednesday afternoon when they play the final game of a three-game set against the San Diego Padres. Suzuki has been kept out of the lineup over the past three days due to a wrist injury. However, the 30-year-old was able to avoid a lengthy absence. On Wednesday, he will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the three-hole. He has enjoyed a productive start to the campaign, holding a strong .292/.390/.538 slash line with two doubles and four home runs across 17 contests. He has tallied 11 runs, 15 RBI, and held an 11:23 BB:K. Under the hood, he has generated an impressive 14.0 percent barrel rate and a 48.8 percent hard-hit rate, which are both well above the average marks. He should be started in all formats, but it is best to fade in DFS facing San Diego right-hander Nick Pivetta, who enters Wednesday boasting a 1.59 ERA.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is out for his third straight game on Tuesday. He suffered the injury after being hit in the wrist by a pitch on Saturday and was deemed as day-to-day by manager Craig Counsell. There have been no updates on his timetable since so it will be something to continue to monitor over the next few days. Suzuki will hope to avoid a trip to the injured list after getting off to a hot start at the dish, slashing .292/.390/.538 with four home runs through 17 games.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Diego Padres. Suzuki is set to miss his second game in a row due to a right wrist issue that he suffered during Saturday's contest. For now, Suzuki should be considered as day-to-day, but it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up on the injured list. Justin Turner will serve as the designated hitter and bat third against right-hander Dylan Cease on Monday. Turner hasn't done enough with the bat this season to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Suzuki was forced to exit early on Saturday due to right wrist discomfort. For now, fantasy managers should consider Suzuki as day-to-day. However, it wouldn't be shocking to see him land on the injured list if he doesn't get better in a few days. In the meantime, Justin Turner will take over at the designated hitter spot and bat third versus right-hander Tyler Glasnow on Sunday. Turner isn't bringing enough upside with the bat right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) is considered day-to-day with a wrist injury. According to Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports, Suzuki initially sustained this injury during their contest on Monday against the Rangers but aggravated it against the Dodgers on Saturday evening. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their rubber match against the Dodgers on Sunday evening, as the Cubs may opt to give the 30-year-old a day off. Over his previous five games, Suzuki posted a .500/.556/.625 slash line with one triple and four RBI. If Suzuki were to miss time, the Cubs may opt to move one of their position players to the designated hitter spot this evening. This could also open a starting spot for depth infielder Justin Turner or backstop Carson Kelly, if Miguel Amaya starts behind the dish.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (wrist) left Saturday night's game against the Dodgers with right-wrist pain after two at-bats, in which he grounded out and lined out. He was replaced by pinch-hitter Miguel Amaya, who stayed in the game as the team's designated hitter in place of Suzuki. Hopefully, the issue is nothing major since Suzuki has gotten off to a great start to the year. He is hitting .292 through his first 17 games with four home runs, 15 RBI, and a .413 wOBA. Any time he has to miss would be a big blow to the Cubs' offense, which has been very productive so far this season. Stay tuned for more updates on the nature and severity of Suzuki's wrist issue.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki had himself a day in the team's 10-2 victory over the hosting Athletics in Sacramento on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with two home runs, a career-high five RBI, two runs scored, a walk and a strikeout. Suzuki is now tied for the major-league lead in RBI with 11 after entering the day with a league-leading 16 strikeouts in eight games played. The 30-year-old outfielder got off to a slow start in 2025 by going 2-for-21 through his first five contests, but he's since gone deep four times with 11 RBI in his last four games to completely flip the switch in the early going. Although durability has been a bit of an issue early on in Suzuki's MLB career, he's managed 20-plus homers in the last two seasons and also stole a career-high 16 bags in 2024. If he's able to make more contact in 2025, a breakout could be coming.

Chicago Cubs outfielder/designated hitter Seiya Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during their victory over the Athletics on Tuesday evening. Suzuki wasted little time as he launched a three-run shot in the opening frame off Athletics right-hander Luis Severino. This home run also scored outfielders Ian Happ and Kyle Tucker. After tallying just two hits over his first four games, Suzuki has turned the corner. He has now tallied at least two hits in each of his previous three contests. During this stretch, he has launched his first two round-trippers of the campaign and tallied six RBI. The 30-year-old has seen steady progression since making his MLB debut during the 2022 season. Last summer, he launched a career-best 21 home runs and held a .283/.366/.482 line. He will look to post his fourth-straight multi-hit performance on Wednesday against Athletics southpaw Jeffrey Springs.

According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki will be the team's primary designated hitter during the 2025 season. Earlier in the offseason, the Chicago Cubs acquired star outfielder Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros, creating a logjam in the team's outfield. However, Suzuki and manager Craig Counsell have agreed that he will spend most of the summer at the DH spot. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Kyle Tucker to operate as the team's starting outfielder throughout most of the season. While Suzuki boasts a potent bat, his defense has been quite underwhelming. Last season, he posted a poor -3 OAA. However, in the batter's box, he held a. 283/.366/.482 line with 21 home runs and 16 stolen bases. Suzuki should have prime RBI opportunities batting behind Tucker and Happ.
