Scores, drives in run Saturday Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

Impact Suzuki had been scuffling a bit before the two-hit effort, going 0-for-13 with four strikeouts over his previous three games. The veteran outfielder usually doesn't slump for too long, however, as he batted .283 or better each of the last two seasons. Suzuki is batting .250 at the moment this year, and he will likely push that figure up over the summer months based on his MLB track record.

Back in action Friday Suzuki (wrist) is batting third as the designated hitter Friday against the Phillies.

Impact Suzuki was scratched from Wednesday's starting nine due to a recurrence of a wrist issue, though he's good to go following Thursday's team off day. The 30-year-old has cooled off a bit lately with a .208 average (5-for-24) in his past six contests, but it's been a productive start to the campaign with six homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs and a .276/.354/.540 slash line in 99 plate appearances.

Impact Suzuki went deep for the second straight day, giving him six long balls for the season. The outfielder's career high in home runs is 21, which he recorded last year. If he stays healthy in 2025, Suzuki is on pace to easily surpass that total based on his early returns.
