Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Seiya Suzuki (finger) is unlikely to return off the injured list in the coming days. It’s just going really slowly,” Cubs manager David Ross said before the Cubs played the Yankees. “He wants to be back in there bad. But the finger doesn’t look great. It’s really stayed almost status quo.” The outfielder looked like he was a possibility for an activation before the weekend series with New York, but that’s obviously no longer a possibility. While the team doesn’t believe Suzuki will need surgery, the 27-year-old shouldn’t be counted on for a return in the short-term.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs Saturday in a win over the Cubs. Judge hit leadoff for the Yankees on Saturday and connected on a 90 mph fastball from Matt Swarmer in the bottom of the first, sending it to left field for his 23rd home run of the season. Later, in the bottom of the fifth, Judge hammered another 90 mph fastball from Swarmer, hitting it 431 feet to left-center field. He’s a clear-cut American League MVP favorite.
