Seiya Suzuki

After getting benched in August, Suzuki was outstanding for the rest of last season. Early indications are that he'll continue to thrive.

Thoughts on a potential MVP-caliber hitter, whether it's time to write off Pete Crow-Armstrong, the buzz around Cade Horton and more.

Suzuki is hitting second now, his likely landing spot in the regular season. Plus notes on Busch and Dominic Smith.

“Everyone saw what he can be," Jed Hoyer said of Suzuki's breakout.

The outfielder lost a ball in the lights, turning the Cubs' one-run lead into a one-run deficit in the eighth inning.

Taillon and Suzuki look like themselves again, and at just the right time. "Confidence is a powerful thing," manager David Ross said.

The Cubs had the bases loaded in the ninth during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Mets, but things didn't work out as they planned.

Cubs manager David Ross wouldn't commit to whether it will be an extended period of time that Suzuki won't be playing.

The Cubs see a great opportunity to win the NL Central and they're approaching early August in playoff mode.

The surging Cubs have two days to maximize their rising playoff chances after looking like a team that would sell until recently.

Suzuki has been a Statcast darling. But all that encouraging data hasn't yet translated into regular production or much impact.

Nico Hoerner, Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki are struggling in July. Is this a poorly timed rough patch, or something else?

Last season the Cubs were 22 games below .500 at the break. They're better now, but not yet where they want to be.

After getting into a 1-for-23 skid on the West Coast, Suzuki made some adjustments and got five hits in his last two games.

Suzuki isn't just hitting well, he's also showing a knack for outstanding jumps in right field and above-average speed.

Is there any extension talk between Cody Bellinger and the Cubs?

Suzuki's season debut included a home run, as did Ian Happ's 4-for-4 showing. Pitcher Justin Steele did his part, too.

Suzuki's injury was originally thought to be severe enough to hold him out until the end of April, but that may not be the case.
