The Cubs announced Monday night that Suzuki was
officially out of the WBC but that additional details about his
injury and spring training status would come at a later date.
Imaging results were reviewed Sunday and Monday after Suzuki was
a late scratch from the Cubs' lineup on Saturday.
Suzuki, 28, hit .262 last season with 14 home runs and 46 RBIs
in 111 games.
Cubs manager David Ross said he wasn't ready to discuss what the
injury might mean for Suzuki or Chicago's Opening Day roster.
If Suzuki misses several weeks, the Cubs could use Trey Mancini
and Patrick Wisdom in right field to open the 2023 season.
Wisdom, primarily a third baseman, and Mancini could platoon
depending on Ross' preference at designated hitter and first
base.
