Seiya Suzuki made an immediate impact in his return from the injured list Friday, belting a solo home run to help the Chicago Cubs coast to an 8-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 28-year-old, who missed March's World Baseball Classic due to a left oblique injury, was activated from the 10-day IL by the Cubs earlier in the day following a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Iowa. Starting in right field and batting cleanup in his 2023 debut, Suzuki gave the Cubs a 5-2 lead with his towering shot in the top of the eighth at Dodger Stadium.
