Chicago Cubs: Seiya Suzuki top-10 right field ranking reveals how dire injury situation is

MLB: Spring Training San Diego Padres at Chicago Cubs, Seiya Suzuki

The Chicago Cubs are hoping that they can snap their streak of not winning the National League Central Division in 2026. After seeing the Milwaukee Brewers win the division in each of the past three seasons, the Cubs are on a mission this year to retake the crown.

In order to accomplish this, they have put together a group of players that rivals most Major League Baseball teams. Indeed, young stars can be found all of the diamond and batting order. Additionally, Alex Bregman was brought in to play third base and replace the power bat Chicago lost when Kyle Tucker signed with the Los Angles Dodgers.

This all being said, there is a cloud hovering over the Cubs’ clubhouse in the form of the Seiya Suzuki injury.

Chicago Cubs slugger Seiya Suzuki named the 6th-best right fielder in baseball

Suzuki injured his knee while playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. In their loss to Team Venezuela, Suzuki came up lame after sliding into second base. He has already had an MRI after returning to Arizona, but the Cubs have not made the results of that test public.

If Chicago is going to have to be without Suzuki for any amount of time in 2026, it will be a tough loss to overcome. Bleacher Report recently named him the sixth-best right fielder in all baseball:

“Suzuki had an .867 OPS with 25 home runs and 77 RBI during the first half last season, and he was the biggest All-Star snub in either league. He slumped coming out of the break, but still finished with his best offensive season stateside, reaching 30 home runs and 100 RBI for the first time. After serving primarily as a DH last year, he will shift back to right field to replace Kyle Tucker.”

Suzuki has his critics, but it is going to be incredibly hard to replace 30+ home runs and 100+ RBI on such short notice. Matt Shaw is probably going to see plenty of time in right field if Suzuki is out, but he does not have the power bat that the slugger has.
