PHOENIX — The Cubs put right fielder Seiya Suzuki on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique, the team announced Monday. In a corresponding move, they recalled outfielder Alexander Canario.
Suzuki was off to a strong start this season, batting .305 and showing off his power with average exit velocities that put him in the top 3% in the league.
He served as the Cubs’ designated hitter in the Cubs’ 3-2 win Sunday against the Mariners. In his last at-bat, he grounded out to third but didn’t run through first base at full speed.
