Eugenio Suárez News
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued his hot start to spring training Friday against the Chicago Cubs. He went 2-3 with two singles, a run, and an RBI during Friday's 7-5 spring victory over the Chicago Cubs. Suarez missed nearly a week of spring training due to side tightness and returned to action on Tuesday. Suarez is hitting .500 (5-for-10) with a home run and a 1.445 OPS in five games in spring training. The Diamondbacks acquired Suarez from the Seattle Mariners this offseason in exchange for Carlos Vargas and Seby Zavala. The 32-year-old will look to improve on his 2023 season in Seattle, in which he slashed .232/.323/.391 with 22 home runs, 96 RBI, 68 runs, and two stolen bases over 694 plate appearances. Suarez is a consistent source of power at the hot corner and should pop 20-plus homers (ATC projects 23) in 2024, making a late-round value at his current NFBC ADP of 275.
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (side) and outfielder Alek Thomas (wrist) are both back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. Suarez is at third base and is batting fifth, while Thomas is in the seven-hole and is playing center field. The 32-year-old Suarez is the more attractive fantasy commodity because of his right-handed power. The Venezuelan slugger is a pretty consistent performer from a power perspective and should rebound from his 22-homer campaign in 2023 in a better hitting environment in Arizona, but he's also led the league in strikeouts in three of the last five seasons. Thomas was optioned to the minors at one point last year and is a defense-first player for the D-backs.
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (side) was scratched from Thursday's Cactus League contest against the San Francisco Giants with left-side tightness, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Suarez is considered day-to-day. Suarez's injury doesn't seem too serious, so hopefully he'll be back in spring training action by the weekend. In his place, Blaze Alexander got the start at third base for Arizona on Thursday. The 32-year-old Suarez is a solid source of power, especially with the move to the desert, but he strikes out way too much to help even remotely in batting average. He's also coming off a season in which he hit just 22 home runs and had his lowest slugging percentage (.391) since his rookie year in 2014. Suarez should bounce back in the power department if he can stay healthy in Arizona.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez put forth a very interesting season in 2023, his final one with the Seattle Mariners prior to an offseason deal to the desert. In 2022, the 32-year-old hit .236 with 31 home runs and 87 RBI. Last season, he fell to 22 home runs but drove in 97 runs while hitting only .232. Similar average, far less homers, more RBI. Go figure. At the same time, a drop in his counting stats is likely with the D-backs in 2024. The floor is solid, but ATC projects similar power with 23 home runs but a drop to 79 RBI alongside an identical .232 average. Discouraging is a notable increase in strikeouts over the last several seasons and Chase Field in Arizona has been the sixth-hardest home run venue for right-handed hitters over the last three seasons, as per Statcast. He is fair value with a 276.84 ADP considering the names behind him at the third-base position but expect some regression in the season ahead.
