Seiya Suzuki is not in the Cubs’ lineup Saturday, and might sit a little while longer.

The Cubs will give Seiya Suzuki some time to figure things out. That kept him out of the lineup Saturday, and might do so for a little while longer.

Cubs manager David Ross said Suzuki - in the second year of a five-year, $85 million contract - is not in rhythm and the team can see how off he is. Since the All-Star break, Suzuki has slashed 218/.279/.333. On Friday, Suzuki struck out twice in three at-bats.
