Suzuki is expected to miss roughly four weeks due to a moderate strain in his right oblique, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Manager Craig Counsell said the Cubs will have a better idea of Suzuki's return timeline once the outfielder is free of symptoms, but it appears he is in for a much longer IL stay than the 10-day minimum. Alexander Canario was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to replace Suzuki on the outfield depth chart, and Garrett Cooper has served as the Cubs' DH since Suzuki landed on the injured list Monday.
