Impact Suzuki was set to bat second as the designated hitter despite leaving Monday's game with the ankle soreness, but he was instead scratched from Tuesday's lineup. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. Yan Gomes will serve as the DH in his place.

Notches first MLB steal Suzuki went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Pirates.

Impact After hitting a single in the first inning, Suzuki stole second base against the battery of Zach Thompson and Andrew Knapp. It was his first big-league steal. Suzuki was in the middle of the action all day in the Cubs' blowout win and now sits with a 1.238 OPS in the early going. He only stole nine bases last year in Japan, but Suzuki looks like he could be a top fantasy contributor in his first season stateside even with modest production in the SB category.

Moves up to second spot Suzuki will bat second Tuesday against the Rays, a spot he's likely to stick in long-term, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Suzuki has primarily hit fifth thus far in his brief major-league career, with three appearances in the sixth spot and one as the cleanup man. There's been a trend in recent years of teams batting their best hitters second, as that spot gets an extra handful of at-bats over the course of the season compared to the number three hitter and is guaranteed to not come up with two outs and nobody on in the first inning. Suzuki has quickly emerged as the Cubs' best bat, hitting .429/.564/.929 with four homers and a 30.0 percent barrel rate through 10 games, so it makes sense that he'll receive the honor of batting second. The extra at-bats he'll receive should slightly boost his fantasy value.

Scores twice in win Suzuki went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in Monday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Impact Suzuki reached base on an error in the second inning and was brought home on Patrick Wisdom's two-run shot. He reached base three more times in the contest, singling twice and getting plunked once by Jason Adam. The 27-year-old star has multiple hits in three of his last seven games and has reached base at least once in all 10 games to begin the year. Suzuki is now slashing .429/.564/.929 through 39 plate appearances.

Goes yard once again Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a home run and two walks in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Suzuki has been outstanding to begin the year and has reached base in every single game this season while crushing his fourth long ball of the season in this one. He's hit safely in every game in which he's recorded an official at-bat so far and owns an impressive (yet unsustainable) .400/.543/.960 slash line with four homers, two doubles, 11 RBI and seven runs scored over his first 35 plate appearances (nine games).

Keeps rolling Saturday Suzuki went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

Impact After being out of the starting lineup Friday, Suzuki got right back into a groove Saturday. He's recorded at least one hit in all seven of his starts this year and is batting .409 overall with a robust 1.442 OPS. The Japanese outfielder is adjusting quite well in his first MLB season and should be a fantasy force the rest of the way.
