Cubs Aiming To Activate Seiya Suzuki On April 10
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Seiya Suzuki is set to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Friday’s game against the Pirates after completing five rehab games with Double-A Knoxville, where he’s been regaining offensive and defensive readiness.
- Suzuki’s limited Spring Training due to the World Baseball Classic and a preseason PCL sprain has delayed his return, but the Cubs are cautiously ensuring he is fully prepared to play right field before rejoining the lineup.
- Suzuki’s 2026 season is crucial as it marks the final year of his five-year, $85 million contract; he has delivered solid offensive production but will need strong numbers to secure another lucrative deal.
- Matt Shaw’s playing time in right field will decrease with Suzuki’s return, though Shaw will remain a versatile super-sub, while Moises Ballesteros, who has struggled as the primary DH, may be optioned to Triple-A.
