Cubs DH/OF Seiya Suzuki isn't in the starting lineup on Friday due to illness, according to manager Craig Counsell. That's opened the door for rookie Moises Ballesteros to be the team's DH while super utility guy Willi Castro gets the nod in RF where Kyle Tucker normally roams. Tucker is out for a few more days as he recovers from a calf injury.
