Description: Although a career .321 hitter, Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki has struggled against Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson batting just .196 over 46 at-bats with 12 strikeouts. | Insight: Ichiro (.264, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 6 SB) still has some fantasy appeal because he's a familiar face, but at almost 40, he's no longer putting up fantasy-worthy numbers. | | |

Description: Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki probably won't be of much help to fantasy owners Thursday against his old team. Ichiro only has one hit in 16 previous at bats versus M's righthander Aaron Harang. | Insight: That computes to a .063 average. Ichiro (.266, 2 HR, 10 RBI, 5 SB) still has some fantasy appeal because he's a familiar face but at almost 40, it's clear that he isn't the player he once was. | | |

Description: New York right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is not in Tuesday's starting lineup. The Yankees will start Curtis Granderson, Brett Gardner and Vernon Wells. | Insight: This is not the Ichiro that has to be started everyday. He's batting .241 with a .613 OPS and five steals in 39 games. | | |

Description: New York right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is 0-for-20 with five strikeouts over his last five games and has a terrible matchup Thursday against the Mariners. | Insight: Ichiro is 1-for-16 (.063) against Seattle starter Aaron Harang. Now that Curtis Granderson is back in the lineup, Ichiro will need to hit better to remain in the everyday lineup. He shouldn't be in any fantasy lineups for the foreseeable future. | | |

Description: New York right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is a career .500 hitter versus Royals right-hander Wade Davis in 16 at-bats. | Insight: He's had an unproductive season so far (.269, 1 HR, 6 RBI) but could become more valuable at the Yankees power hitters return from the disabled list and the lineup starts to score more runs. For now, he's only a spot starter, though today is one of those spots. | | |

Description: New York right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is out for Thursday's series finale against Colorado. | Insight: He's had an unproductive season so far (.269, 1 HR, 6 RBI) and is only worth owning in deeper formats. | | |
| 4/30/2013 10:42:00 AM |
Description: Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is hitless in nine at-bats versus Houston starter Philip Humber. | Insight: When a career .322 hitter like Ichiro is batting .000 against a pitcher, even one that 0-5 this season, it's a significant statistic. It's best to avoid this matchup. | | |

Description: Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is a career 7-for-12 (.583) against Baltimore starter Jason Hammel. | Insight: The career .322 hitter is batting just .161 this season with a .464 OPS, but this matchup could get him going in the right direction. | | |

Description: Yankees outfielder Ichiro Suzuki got in a car accident Saturday at spring training but he didn't suffer any injuries. SOURCE: New York Post | Insight: Injuries to Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson have given New York very little depth to work with so an injury to Ichiro would have been a huge blow. The veteran outfielder is hitting .417 in four games this spring. | | |

Description: Jon Heyman from CBS Sports reports Ichiro Suzuki's new deal with the Yankees is worth $13 million over two seasons. | Insight: There was some concern earlier in the week that Ichiro could wind up in Philadelphia after the Phillies offered him a two-year contract but ultimately the Yankees upped their offer and the veteran was able to stay in New York. Suzuki will be 41 when his contract expires after the 2014 season. | | |

Description: The Yankees and Ichiro are getting close on a deal worth between $12-13 million. New York is working on the structure of the deal. SOURCE: Jon Heyman, CBSSports.com | Insight: Ichiro reportedly had two outside offers for more money but told the Yankees he's willing to take less money to stay with the team. The veteran outfielder hit .322 with a .794 OPS in 67 games with the Yankees after batting just .261 with a .642 OPS in 95 games with the Mariners. If he signs a two-year deal he'll have a shot to collect his 3,000th MLB hit as a Yankee (he's 394 away). | | |

Description: The Yankees appear to have some competition for outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. The Phillies have offered the veteran $14 million for two seasons and now it looks like Suzuki won't sign with New York unless the team offers him a two-year deal. | Insight: This report comes from Joel Sherman of the New York Post. The Yankees weren't anticipating another team getting involved so they may have to alter their course a bit here. This might take a few days to sort out but we're confident Ichiro and the Yankees can still work out an agreement. | | |

Description: The Yankees have made progress in their negotiations with free agent outfielder Ichiro Suzuki according to Buster Olney from ESPN. | Insight: New York has always been the most likely destination for Ichiro and now it looks like a deal could be reached before the end of the week. The 39-year-old holds a .350 lifetime average in 49 career appearances at Yankee Stadium. | | |

Description: Free agent outfielder Ichiro Suzuki would "love" to play for the Giants according to ESPN's Jayson Stark. | Insight: The feeling isn't mutual however as the Giants have barely shown any interest. All signs point to Ichiro returning to New York on a one-year deal. | | |
| 12/2/2012 11:19:00 AM |
Description: Reports surfaced last week that the Yankees were the overwhelming favorites to land free agent outfielder Ichiro Suzuki but Suzuki's agent Tony Attanasio insists that he's been in touch with other teams. | Insight: Suzuki thrived in New York last season, producing a .322 average in 67 games for the Bronx Bombers. At age 39, Ichiro is unlikely to receive more than a one or two-year contract this offseason. | | |
| 10/25/2012 8:46:00 PM |
Description: The New York Post reports that outfielder Ichiro Suzuki is hoping to return to the Yankees next season. | Insight: Suzuki hit .322 in 67 games for the Yankees in 2012. If New York does sign Ichiro for next season, he'll probably have to move to right field to make room for Brett Gardner in left. Gardner missed most of last season with an elbow injury. | | |
