Center fielder Cody Bellinger (rib fracture) and right fielder Seiya Suzuki (strained left oblique) are progressing in their recovery. On Saturday, both outfielders hit and did defensive drills. Suzuki took batting practice for the first time on Wednesday in New York.
“Belli is a little bit ahead of Seiya,” manager Craig Counsell said. “But we’re just going through baseball activities, more activities every day.”
Counsell said it’s likely Suzuki has a rehab assignment — but Bellinger might not — and both players can possibly be activated off the IL next week.
