"Seiya Suzuki is back! He's over the WBC-induced knee injury, and he'll make his season debut today. It'll be good to have that bat back, and here's hoping he also employs ABS challenges aggressively."
"Carlson cannot be optioned to the minors, so this is the only way to remove him from the 26-man roster. He'll now hit waivers, and the other 29 teams will have a chance to take him and his contract."
"Typically, you'd expect a guy to go to free agency in these situations, because he still gets to keep his payday from the original team, while also finding a more open place to play."
"Meanwhile, the Cubs also brought back Ethan Roberts to the bullpen, where he replaces Phil Maton. Obviously Maton has been struggling badly so far this year, and although mechanics seem to be the issue, that doesn't mean there's not also a physical ailment."
Seiya Suzuki makes his season debut for the Chicago Cubs after recovering from a knee injury. He replaces Dylan Carlson, who has been designated for assignment due to being behind in the outfield depth chart. Carlson cannot be optioned to the minors, leading to his placement on waivers. The Cubs also reactivated Ethan Roberts for the bullpen, replacing struggling pitcher Phil Maton. The situation with Carlson is complicated by his service time, affecting his options for the future.
