""Day-to-day, the pain has gone down and it's been feeling better each day ... I want to make sure it heals and then come back to the team.""
"If Suzuki misses just the first week, that would be six games the Cubs have to cover with some combination of Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto, and any other outfielder(s) that make the Opening Day roster."
"You want it to be only when Seiya Suzuki is completely over this thing. Nobody wants him to struggle for a month, and then we find out he was behind the 8-ball early on."
Seiya Suzuki will open the season on the Injured List, missing at least the first week. He expressed optimism about his recovery, stating that the pain has decreased daily. If he only misses the first week, the Cubs will need to adjust their lineup with players like Matt Shaw and Michael Conforto. There is a possibility that Suzuki may be eased back into play, potentially taking on designated hitter roles initially to ensure a full recovery before returning to the field.
