Seiya Suzuki Diagnosed With PCL Strain After WBC Injury

Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki has been diagnosed with a strained PCL in his right knee, sustained while sliding into second base during a World Baseball Classic game against Venezuela. Suzuki has returned to Arizona for light baseball activities as swelling subsides. Manager Craig Counsell called the diagnosis "good news," though the team will evaluate him this weekend to determine his status for Opening Day and whether an injured list stint is necessary for the 31-year-old.
