Suzuki's Return Forces Cubs to Rework Bench, Carlson at Risk

Seiya Suzuki is set to return Friday, likely reclaiming the Cubs' right field and triggering a bench reshuffle that moves Matt Shaw into a utility role. Conforto’s early strong production keeps him in the mix, but the bench balance—with Amaya and left-handed Conforto—limits how many outfield options the Cubs can carry. Dylan Carlson appears the most vulnerable to losing his roster spot upon Suzuki's activation, though Scott Kingery provides versatility as a backup option.

Cubs Edge Rays 6-2 to Seize the Series as Hoerner Opens with a Homer

The Cubs defeated the Rays 6-2 to win the series and move back to .500, with Nico Hoerner starting the night with a homer and Michael Conforto delivering a bases-clearing hit. Colin Rea filled in effectively, tossing five solid innings as Tampa Bay struggled with errors and decisions.

Cubs start season with Suzuki on IL and Assad optioned

The Chicago Cubs will begin the season without Seiya Suzuki, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right knee, and Javier Assad was optioned to Triple-A Iowa to keep him stretched out. Ben Brown earned the final bullpen spot. With Suzuki out, the Cubs will lean on non-roster signing Michael Conforto and may lean on Dylan Carlson and/or Kevin Alcantara for outfield depth as they assemble their bench.

Dodgers Secure Conforto After Missing Out on Soto

The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms with outfielder Michael Conforto, though the deal is not yet finalized. Conforto, a left-handed hitter, addresses the Dodgers' need for left-side outfield production, which was lacking in 2024. Despite this addition, the Dodgers are still expected to pursue other outfielders, including Teoscar Hernández. Conforto's performance has been stronger on the road, and his signing is seen as a strategic move to bolster the team's lineup against right-handed pitchers.

Dodgers Sign Michael Conforto to 1-Year, $17M Deal After Soto's Mets Move

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed veteran outfielder Michael Conforto to a one-year, $17-million contract, adding left-handed depth to their outfield after missing out on superstar Juan Soto, who signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765-million deal with the New York Mets. The Dodgers were considered finalists for Soto but were outbid by the Mets. Conforto, a former All-Star, hit .237 with 20 homers for the San Francisco Giants last season. The Dodgers are still interested in re-signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who had a standout season in 2024.

Dodgers Sign Michael Conforto to Bolster Outfield

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed outfielder Michael Conforto to a one-year, $17 million contract after missing out on Juan Soto, who signed with the New York Mets. Conforto, who played for the San Francisco Giants over the past two seasons, will help fill the Dodgers' need for a left-handed-hitting outfielder. Despite this signing, the Dodgers may still pursue free agent Teoscar Hernández. Conforto's career has seen ups and downs, including a strong early period with the Mets and a shoulder injury that sidelined him for all of 2022.

SF Giants' Michael Conforto placed on IL, prospect Heliot Ramos recalled

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto has been placed on the 10-day Injured List due to a left hamstring strain, while outfielder Heliot Ramos has been recalled to take his place on the roster. Conforto had been performing well recently, hitting 15-44 with 4 extra-base hits and 6 walks in his last 13 games. Ramos, who had a strong performance in AAA Sacramento, will provide additional hitting power for the Giants. The team's outfield arrangement is uncertain, with Ramos potentially joining Wade Meckler and Luis Matos against lefties, and Mitch Haniger possibly replacing him in the lineup. In other news, infielder Johan Camargo has been outrighted to AAA Sacramento, and there are indications that Anthony DeSclafani may be rehabbing elsewhere for the rest of the year.
