Cubs' Seiya Suzuki Scratched With Wrist Injury Against Dodgers

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki was scratched from Wednesday's lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to right wrist discomfort, an issue that previously caused him to miss three games last week. Suzuki had just returned for five games before aggravating the injury, and he is now considered day-to-day. Justin Turner was inserted into the lineup as designated hitter and will bat third. Suzuki has been a key contributor for the Cubs this season, with six home runs, 20 RBIs, and strong overall batting statistics. The team is hopeful Suzuki might return after Thursday’s off day for the upcoming series against the Philadelphia Phillies. This setback is seen as significant given Suzuki's strong start and importance to the Cubs’ offense.
