Manager David Ross says injured outfielder Seiya Suzuki (above) is in good spirits as he recovers from a strained left oblique.

MESA, Ariz. — Manager David Ross reported right fielder Seiya Suzuki is in good spirits while receiving treatment for his strained left oblique.

As for moving closer to baseball activity, Ross said he hasn’t looked at Suzuki’s schedule. That fuels the speculation that Suzuki likely will need close to the equivalent of a six-week spring training that would sideline him for up to the first month of the season.
