Suzuki’s homer not enough as Brewers rally to 6-2 over Cubs

Seiya Suzuki gave the Cubs a brief lead with a fifth-inning homer off Jacob Misiorowski, but Milwaukee answered with a multi-run rally as the Cubs’ bullpen faltered; Garrett Mitchell hit a homer off Ethan Roberts to put the Brewers in front, David Hamilton’s two-out triple chased the Cubs’ starter, and William Contreras homered off Jayden Murray to push the lead to 5-1. In the eighth, Suzuki drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Christian Yelich added an RBI double as Milwaukee padded its lead to 6-2. Cubs starter Colin Rea worked four scoreless innings before the bullpen meltdown, and Chicago’s club will debut newly acquired left-hander David Peterson in the next game against Milwaukee.

Cubs Extend Seven-Game Win Streak as Hoerner and Ballesteros Carry the Load

Cubs Plot Gentle Return for Seiya Suzuki

The Cubs will ease Seiya Suzuki back into the lineup after his knee injury sustained during the World Baseball Classic, using depth in right field and at DH (Matt Shaw, Michael Conforto, Moises Ballesteros) to manage his ramp-up. Suzuki is expected to appear in roughly two of every three games initially, with rotations and occasional rest days to protect him, and should return to near daily usage once he’s fully healthy.

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

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.

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.

Conforto Lands on Cubs Opening Day Roster as Suzuki Waits

Michael Conforto will be on the Cubs’ Opening Day roster as Seiya Suzuki isn’t ready and Tyler Austin is sidelined with knee surgery. Signed to a minor-league deal with a big-league Spring Training invite, Conforto could back up in the outfield corners and may share right-field duties with Dylan Carlson, particularly against right-handed pitchers, a role aided by his 121 career wRC+ vs. RHP.

Cubs hopeful as Suzuki’s knee MRI shows only a minor PCL sprain

Seiya Suzuki’s World Baseball Classic knee injury was updated after an MRI showing a sprained posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) that is described as minor. The Cubs cautioned that he won’t be shut down and will continue baseball activities, though a brief IL stint remains a possibility. The update provides cautious optimism for a relatively short setback as spring training winds down and the Cubs consider outfield options if Suzuki misses time.
