CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs are dealing with their first injury issue.
Right fielder Seiya Suzuki was scratched from the lineup with left oblique tightness before the start of Saturday’s Cactus League opener at Sloan Park. No. 2 prospect Brennen Davis replaced Suzuki in the lineup, batting ninth against the San Francisco Giants.
Suzuki is under further evaluation. The Cubs are not expecting any updates on his status until Sunday.
