Seiya Suzuki couldn’t suppress his disappointment.
The Chicago Cubs proper fielder was shocked when he realized the prognosis of his average indirect pressure, an damage he had by no means skilled throughout his baseball profession. Suzuki was disheartened understanding it meant he couldn’t play for Team Japan within the World Baseball Classic.
“I know a lot of people were kind of excited to see me out there playing,” Suzuki stated Tuesday by means of interpreter Toy Matsushita. “So, it’s only a actually unlucky determination. It’s simply very unlucky.
“Last year’s finger injury was something I could play through. This one’s a little different. It’s kind of repetitive (motion) so I want to make sure I’m 100%.”
Suzuki had felt some tightness earlier than he was scratched from Saturday’s Cactus League sport, however he couldn’t choose at what level he ought to cease doing baseball actions on account of his unfamiliarity with indirect accidents.
When requested what the grade of Suzuki’s indirect pressure is, supervisor David Ross reiterated the Cubs are labeling it a average pressure, joking, “I never made good grades in school … so I have no idea.”
The Cubs don’t have a timeline for Suzuki’s return and are within the strategy of formulating a plan. But proper now, Suzuki’s readiness by opening day on March 30 seems murky.
“The goal for us is when he’s back we don’t lose him again,” Ross stated. “Pushing it toward some date that we all look forward to doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. We want him to get back completely healthy. If that’s opening day, great. If it’s five days in, great, if it’s two weeks in, fine.”
