More injury concerns keep popping up for the Chicago Cubs this season.
It feels like whenever they get someone back off the IL, someone else goes down with a bump and bruise, or sometimes worse, they are out for an extended period of time.and returning to their Major League roster following his extended absence, Seiya Suzuki left the game early after getting hit on his side with a baseball during the first inning. He stayed in until getting removed in the sixth.
The Japanese phenom was putting together a fantastic year early on, slashing .305/.368/.525 with three homers, seven extra-base hits, and 13 RBI through 15 games before he was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain on April 15.He finished the month with a batting average of just .219 despite hitting two homers and driving in six runs.
Suzuki seemed to have gotten things back on track through the early part of June as he went 6-21 with two homers and six RBI through just six games, however, this new injury development could put a halt to all that momentum. Now, it should be pointed out it's just a day-to-day designation and he was only removed as a precaution. His left oblique caused him to miss time last year so they're going to be extra careful regarding that, especially when he said it "tightened up" during the game.Their star second baseman, Nico Hoerner, was kept out of Friday's game after getting hit on his right hand with a 96.5 mph fastball the day before.
