Seiya Suzuki, the Cubs’ right fielder, is out with an oblique injury. Fortunately, he’s begun light baseball activity:
Seiya Suzuki (left oblique) is hitting front flips in the cage today, Ross says.

He’s still a ways away from batting practice or playing in games, but the hope is still that Suzuki will be able to return to the Cubs by around the end of April or beginning of May. That would have him miss between 25-30 games.
So for that many games, the Cubs will need a temporary replacement.
