Overview
- Seiya Suzuki was reinstated before Friday's home game against the Pirates, completing his return from a mild knee sprain.
- Dylan Carlson was designated for assignment to clear roster space, which removes him from the 40-man roster and sends him to waivers where he can be claimed or, if unclaimed, assigned to Triple-A Iowa.
- Phil Maton went on the 15-day injured list with right knee tendinitis, retroactive to Wednesday, and right-hander Ethan Roberts was recalled from Triple-A Iowa.
- Suzuki proved ready during a short rehab at Double-A Knoxville, where he hit .429 over five games with two doubles and clean work in right field.
- Recent results add context to the decisions, with Maton posting a 13.50 ERA in five outings and Carlson going 0-for-4 for Chicago this season.
