Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki has been sidelined with a strained left oblique since spring training games began. File photo.MESA, Ariz. – Right fielder Seiya Suzuki’s first home run in a batting practice session Saturday was a good sign. The second was a no-doubter, towering over the left-field fence of a practice field in the Cubs’ spring training complex.
“It’s nice and loud out there,” manager David Ross said. “Coming off the bat well, home runs, I need to close my eyes.”
He didn’t want to get too excited. The Cubs don’t want to rush Suzuki’s rehab process.
