Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell says outfielder Seiya Suzuki will go on a minor-league rehab stint during the team’s upcoming trip. Suzuki began the season on the injured list because of a sprained right knee sustained while playing for Japan in the World Baseball Classic. He sprained the posterior cruciate ligament in the knee in Japan’s loss to Venezuela on March 14 in the WBC quarterfinals. Counsell said whether Suzuki goes to Triple-A Iowa or Double-A Tennessee will depend on the weather. The Cubs wrap up a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. They have an off day before starting a six-game trip to Cleveland and Tampa Bay against the Guardians on Friday. Suzuki is in the final season of an $85 million, five-year contract.
