The club continues to monitor Suzuki, who injured his right knee while playing for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic, making it questionable whether he will be able to start the season on time. The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney have the latest updates on this situation, from Suzuki’s timeline to the team’s current plans for right field and the internal deliberations on how to fill out the Opening Day roster.
