The Cubs open at home March 30 against Milwaukee.
MESA, Ariz. -- An oblique injury will keep Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki out of the World Baseball Classic. It also jeopardizes his status for March 30's opening day against the Brewers.
"It's really unfortunate that it had to come down to this decision," Suzuki said on Tuesday through an interpreter."I know a lot of people were excited to see me out there playing." "The goal for us is that when he's back, we don't lose him again," Ross said."So pushing toward some date that we all look forward to doesn't make a lot of sense. We want him to get back completely healthy.Suzuki hit .262 with 14 homers, 46 RBIs and nine stolen bases for the Cubs in his first big league season last year. The outfielder said the team was waiting for the injury's inflammation to subside before deciding the next steps in his recovery.
