Eugenio Suárez Fantasy Stats

The Seattle Mariners have agreed to acquire third baseman Eugenio Suarez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. First baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handed pitching prospects Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos are going to Arizona, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. This is a massive pickup for the Mariners, who have remade their corner infield in a pair of trades with the Diamondbacks over the past week. They previously acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from Arizona. He's once again teammates with Suarez, who earned his second All-Star nod this season and has slashed .248/.320/.576 with 36 homers, 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 437 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has already performed well in the past in Seattle, where he played from 2022-23, and should be a huge offensive upgrade at third over Ben Williamson. With Suarez and catcher Cal Raleigh, Seattle now has two elite power hitters who have combined to smash 77 homers this year. With Suarez gone, Blaze Alexander could now take over at third in Arizona. Suarez's departure could also create an opportunity for former sixth overall pick Jordan Lawlar (hamstring) if he's able to return from a hamstring injury.

On the eve of Thursday's trade deadline, the Houston Astros are showing interest in Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, and Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. The most interesting possibility here may be Correa, who began his career in Houston and flourished as a member of the team. Correa, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft, debuted with the Astros in 2015. He played with the club through 2021 and took home Rookie of the Year honors, made two All-Star teams, and won a World Series in their uniform before signing with the Twins in free agency. He's now in the fourth season of a six-year, $200 million contract, which looks pricey considering his output in 2025. Correa has batted a pedestrian .267/.319/.386 with seven homers, 31 RBI, and 40 runs scored in his age-30 campaign, and he hasn't gone yard in any of his 20 games this month. Correa has a full no-trade clause, but he still lives in Houston in the offseason and would waive it to return there, according to Nightengale. With that said, the Astros do have an established shortstop in Jeremy Pena (ribs), who should return from the 10-day injured list soon after missing over a month with a small rib fracture. Correa and Pena have exclusively played short in the majors, so the Astros would have to find a way to make that work. It seems likely that Correa would take over at third with Isaac Paredes (hamstring) out for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) is returning to the lineup on Wednesday against Detroit Tigers right-hander Chris Paddack. He'll bat cleanup and serve as the designated hitter. Suarez had an injury scare on Monday when he took a fastball off the right index finger, but X-rays came back negative, and he ended up missing just one game. This could be the final game in an Arizona uniform for Suarez, who is likely to end up on the move before Thursday's trade deadline. The 34-year-old has drawn interest from several contenders during what has been a prolific season. Fresh off his second All-Star Game appearance, Suarez has slashed .248/.321/.577 with 36 homers, a league-leading 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 433 plate appearances.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) is not in the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the hosting Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Although X-rays came back negative on Suarez's right index finger after he was hit by a pitch in Monday's loss to Detroit, it's not that big of a surprise that the D-backs are playing it safe with one of the top available bats at this year's trade deadline. Fantasy managers should consider the 34-year-old right-handed slugger to be day-to-day and check back to see if he's available to play on Wednesday. It would not be a big surprise if we don't see Suarez back in the lineup until the July 31 trade deadline on Thursday, though. Blaze Alexander is starting at third and batting ninth on Tuesday against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Alexander could be the team's everyday third baseman if/when Suarez is traded this week. UPDATE: A CT scan and MRI exam both came back negative on Suarez's injured finger on Tuesday.

Updating a previous report, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger) appears to have avoided a major injury after leaving a loss to the Detroit Tigers early on Monday. Suarez told reporters after the game that X-rays on his right index finger came back negative, and he'll undergo further testing on Tuesday. The two-time All-Star exited in the ninth inning after Tigers closer Will Vest hit him in the hand with a 95.6 mph fastball. It didn't look good, but it seems that the Diamondbacks and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. The same goes for teams that are interested in acquiring Suarez before Thursday's trade deadline.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (hand) left a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers in the ninth inning on Monday after taking a pitch off the right hand. The Diamondbacks replaced Suarez, who was in obvious pain, with Blaze Alexander after Tigers closer Will Vest hit him with a 95.6 mph fastball. If this is a serious injury, it could have major ramifications on Thursday's trade deadline. Suarez is considered the best hitter who could end up on the move in the coming days, but a trade may not come together if he has to miss a significant amount of time. From a fantasy standpoint, the 34-year-old would be an enormous loss for managers. Suarez has been one of the game's elite power hitters this season, having slashed .248/.321/.577 with 36 homers, 87 RBI, and 64 runs scored in 433 plate appearances. UPDATE: Manager Torey Lovullo said Suarez will go for X-rays, and the D-backs are calling him day-to-day for now.

The Detroit Tigers are one of the strong suitors for Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suarez with the July 31 trade deadline coming this week, would love to finalize a deal before Suarez and the D-backs finish a series in Detroit this Wednesday, according to USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale. Arizona is in Motown for a three-game series this week. Suarez is one of the most attractive and available bats at this year's deadline and is basically a lock to get moved at this point with the Snakes selling. Detroit has been using a combination of Zach McKinstry, Matt Vierling and Colt Keith at the hot corner lately, so Suarez would be a massive upgrade over that committee. The 34-year-old Venezuelan slugger currently leads baseball with 87 RBI and is tied for fourth with his 36 home runs. A move to Detroit might actually be a slight downgrade fantasy-wise for Suarez.

The New York Yankees have distanced themselves from a potential trade for Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez and are now focused more on names like St. Louis Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan, Minnesota Twins utility man Willi Castro and Los Angeles Angels third baseman Yoan Moncada, according to sources. The Yankees pulled off a trade to acquire Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies to fill their void at third base on Thursday, so it makes sense as to why they have backed off from Suarez in favor of players that can play multiple positions elsewhere on the diamond. Suarez is still fully expected to be dealt by the July 31 trade deadline, but it doesn't look like he'll be headed to the Bronx. He's having one of the best years of his career and is tied for fourth in homers (36) while leading the league with 87 RBI.

The New York Mets are not one of the teams pursuing Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez before the July 31 trade deadline, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. The Mets are instead prioritizing acquiring bullpen help, according to Heyman, who lists starting pitching and center field as other potential areas of focus for the club. On paper, Suarez would be a clear upgrade over Mets third base options Ronny Mauricio, Mark Vientos, and Brett Baty. They've combined for mediocre-at-best production, while Suarez has been one of the top power hitters in the league. Nevertheless, it doesn't appear that the Mets and Diamondbacks will line up on a deal for the two-time All-Star.

The Seattle Mariners made a big splash Thursday in acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the two teams may not be finished dealing. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez remains the Mariners' "top priority" as the July 31 trade deadline approaches, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. The Mariners are among many teams pursuing Suarez, a soon-to-be free agent who's likely to wind up on the move in the next week. The 34-year-old has upped his stock by slashing .252/.325/.593 with 36 home runs and a league-best 86 RBI over 416 plate appearances. He was previously a Mariner from 2022-23 and would provide a sizable upgrade over current third basemen Ben Williamson and Miles Mastrobuoni. Between Suarez and catcher Cal Raleigh, the Mariners would have two elite sluggers who have combined for 75 homers and 170 RBI this year.
