The Chicago Cubs announced this past Monday that prospect Alexander Canario would be called up to join the big league squad in Arizona. We speculated all day, wondering what the other half of the move was. Unfortunately, that move was Seiya Suzuki going to the injured list. He will miss extended time due to an oblique injury.
To start the 2024 season, Suzuki was on pace to have a career year. Before the injury, he was batting .306 with three home runs, four doubles, and thirteen runs batted in.
