Chicago Cubs fans questioning Seiya Suzuki social media post amid injury concerns

Monday, March 16, 2026 16:09

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Chicago Cubs, Seiya Suzuki, Shohei Ohtani

Chicago Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki is entering the final year of his five-year contract with the team. This year, in particular, was going to determine whether or not the Cubs would bring him back in 2027 (or whenever baseball resumes following a likely lockout next season).

After four disappointing seasons, Suzuki finally hit over 30 home runs and drove in more than 100 runs for Chicago last season. The hope, of course, was that he would build off of that success and have another solid season in 2026.

However, Suzuki was recently injured while playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. What is more, the severity of the injury is either not known or has not been revealed to the public.

While Suzuki has arrived back in Cubs camp, it has still not been announced whether or not he will be healthy for Opening Day. And his post on Instagram after Japan was eliminated from the WBC provided not hints:

Seiya Suzuki on Instagram:

“Good day everyone. Thank you to all the fans for your support and warm cheers. I’m just really happy that I was able to play in front of all the Japanese fans, and that I was able to play with your loud cheers. So happy I got to play baseball this… pic.twitter.com/pXrwciMTWX

As one can imagine, fans were rather confused about the post:

Sounds like he is out for an extended period of time.

— MountainIllini# (@IlliniMountain) March 16, 2026

That’s a whole lot of nothing. Is he out for the season or not?

WHTAT DOES THIS MEAN SEIYA

The concern, of course, is that Suzuki could be out for an extended period of time, or even for the entire year. If he is, Matt Shaw will see plenty of time in right field.

But Suzuki’s time in Chicago would most likely be at an end.
