Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who has been sidelined since spring training with a left oblique strain, had four at-bats this week in a simulated game in Arizona with no issues. He was expected to get more at-bats and play defense in a simulated game on Wednesday. A minor-league rehab stint could come soon.

Rained out:

Wednesday's game between the Cubs and Reds at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati was postponed due to rain and rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Friday, Sept. 1.

The Cincinnati area was under a tornado watch.

The rescheduled game will begin at 12:10 p.m. Sept. 1; the second game will start at 5:40 p.m. Both games of the split doubleheader will be nine-inning regulation games.

Up next:

The Cubs Open a six-game homestand on Friday against the Texas Rangers with left-hander Justin Steele scheduled to make his second start.
