Chicago Cubs designated hitter Seiya Suzuki departed Saturday's game due to right wrist pain, which has raised concerns given his injury history since joining the team. Suzuki was performing well this season, boasting a .302 average and a .956 OPS before his exit. He hit a lineout before being replaced by Miguel Amaya, who contributed an RBI single in a decisive five-run seventh inning that helped secure a 7-0 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Injuries have plagued Suzuki, costing him significant time each season. His ability to stay healthy is critical for the Cubs, especially considering his contributions as a key part of the batting order. The Cubs have managed to maintain a competitive edge, but Suzuki's potential absence could impact their performance as they push for a strong season.
