Cubs' Seiya Suzuki Sidelined with Right Oblique Strain, Alexander Canario Called Up

Seiya Suzuki faces a setback with a right oblique strain, placing him on the 10-day injured list as the Cubs elevate prospect Alexander Canario.

  • Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs' right fielder, has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain, an injury similar to one he suffered last season.
  • Suzuki's injury occurred while running bases, and although it's on the opposite side from last year's, it raises concerns about his susceptibility to oblique injuries.
  • The Cubs have called up Alexander Canario from Triple-A Iowa to fill Suzuki's spot. Canario, a promising outfielder, has shown potential with a .269 batting average and two home runs at Iowa this season.
  • Manager Craig Counsell and Suzuki himself have expressed optimism that this injury is less severe than the previous one, offering some hope for a quicker recovery.
  • With Suzuki sidelined, the Cubs' lineup will miss his strong start to the season, where he was batting .305 with three home runs and leading the team in RBIs.
