"Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) will begin a rehab assignment during the club's upcoming road trip. The length of Suzuki's minor-league stay is still to be determined."
"Counsell wants to see him able to play safely and successfully in the outfield before they'll figure out a precise timeline for his season debut."
"If that's how it plays out for Suzuki, then absolute earliest he could return to the big league Cubs would be mid-week next week."
"It's still a long time to wait for such an important player, but again, better to do this right than to have him playing through something for much of the first half of the season."
Seiya Suzuki will start a rehab assignment during the Cubs' upcoming road trip, with the exact details still uncertain. He may play for either Triple-A Iowa or Double-A Knoxville. Cubs manager Craig Counsell emphasizes the importance of Suzuki being able to play safely in the outfield before determining a timeline for his return. The earliest Suzuki could return to the Cubs is mid-week next week, but the team may opt to wait until the series against the Pirates at Wrigley Field.
