Between Michael Conforto’s early struggles at the plate and Matt Shaw’s early struggles in right field (is Dylan Carlson just unplayable?), let’s just say the eagerness to get Seiya Suzuki back has never been stronger. These are small samples, of course, but there’s a reason Suzuki was always seen as a key in the middle of this lineup anyway.
So, how is the knee coming along? What’s the latest? That minor league rehab stint starting soon?
In short, yes, the rehab assignment is coming soon, but the particulars – location, start date, end date – are still up in the air.

— Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) March 31, 2026Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (knee) will begin a rehab assignment during the club’s upcoming road trip. The length of Suzuki’s minor-league stay is still to be determined (at either Double-A Knoxville or Triple-A Iowa). Cubs manager Craig Counsell: “We’re in a really good space.”
— Patrick Mooney (@PJ_Mooney) March 31, 2026So, Suzuki will likely be playing for Triple-A Iowa or Double-A Knoxville this weekend, and Counsell wants to see him able to play safely and successfully in the outfield before they’ll figure out a precise timeline for his season debut.
If I had to guess, what you often see in these situations is a guy getting his first start at DH, taking a rest day, and then trying things out in the field. If that’s how it plays out for Suzuki, then absolute earliest he could return to the big league Cubs would be mid-week next week. At that point, with the Rays series in Tampa wrapping on Wednesday, the Cubs may well hold him out until the Friday start of the Pirates series at Wrigley Field. It’s still a long time to wait for such an important player, but again, better to do this right than to have him playing through something for much of the first half of the season (or worse, re-injuring the PCL).
