9/28/24	Cubs' Seiya Suzuki returns to lineup in 3-0 win against Reds, continues hot streak. Designated hitter Seiya Suzuki returned to the lineup for the Cubs' 3-0 win Saturday against the Reds, after a sprained right ankle sidelined him for two games. Suzuki has essentially replicated his production from last year, in a season where offense is down MLB-wide. Manager Craig Counsell praised Suzuki for his all-around offensive season, while lamenting the oblique strain that sidelined him for three and a half weeks in April and May. “I think Seiya was going to have a monster season, a really big season,” Counsell said.

9/26/24	Cubs' top prospect Kevin Alcantara makes big league debut against NL East Champs. The Chicago Cubs have been eliminated from playoff contention, but they're still making moves. With their regular right fielder Seiya Suzuki hampered by an ankle injury, the Cubs have seized the opportunity to promote one of their top prospects, outfielder Kevin Alcántara. The Cubs optioned Miles Mastrobuoni to the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League to clear a spot on the active roster. In 111 minor league games this season, Alcántara slashed .278/.352/.426 with 14 home runs, 61 RBI, and 14 stolen bases. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/cubs-top-...
9/25/24	Seiya Suzuki suffers injury vs. Phillies, team confirms. Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki has had a strong second half of the 2024 season, but he is likely done for the year after suffering an injury against the Philadelphia Phillies. Suzuki suffered a sprained ankle while running the bases in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game, manager Craig Counsell confirmed to reporters, including the Associated Press. With only four games left in the season, the Cubs in all likelihood will shut him down for the remainder of the campaign, though no official roster move has been announced. In his third season with the Cubs, Suzuki set a career high in home runs with 21. Source: https://www.nbcchicago.com/chicago-sports-bears-so...

7/26/24	Another Seiya Suzuki misplay proves costly in the Chicago Cubs’ 6-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals as post-break slump continues. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At this point, catchable fly balls to right cannot be considered a guaranteed out when Seiya Suzuki is in the field.
