OAKLAND — Cubs right fielder Seiya Suzuki had a planned rest day in the Cubs’ series finale against the A’s on Wednesday, his first since returning from the injured list last Friday. Patrick Wisdom replaced him in right field
“He didn’t have a really long rehab assignment, but we tried to get his legs under him,” manager David Ross said Tuesday, before Suzuki’s fifth game in a row. “He says he’s feeling good, so I’m going to trust him and lean on him, and we’ll try to give him a rest at some point. We’re also a little short in the outfield department. So this might be an area right now where we’ll stretch it a little bit. As long as he’s feeling good, I’m going to push the envelope.”
