Fri Apr 18 | 18:35 | Eugenio Suarez Hits Grand Slam In Friday Afternoon's Loss |
Arizona Diamondbacks' third baseman Eugenio Suarez hit a grand slam on Friday afternoon in the DBack's 13-11 loss to the Chicago Cubs. The grand slam was his sixth home run on the season and he's now hitting for a .709 OPS. The HR was much needed for the 33-year-old, who hadn't hit one in over two weeks. Fantasy managers will be glad to see the power is still there but his .153 batting average may make them feel like his production is either boom or bust, making him tougher to trust if he doesn't become more consistent. He'll look to keep improving on Saturday against scheduled Cubs' starter Ben Brown. |

Wed Apr 2 | 01:00 | Eugenio Suarez Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam Tuesday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued his power run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Yankees. The 33-year-old went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a strikeout. Suarez hit an eighth-inning Mark Leiter Jr. off-speed pitch just over the left-field wall to put the Diamondbacks up for good. He has picked up right where he left off in 2024 and is now slashing .278/.381/1.111 with five home runs and 11 RBI in his first 21 plate appearances. While his current HR pace is not sustainable, Suarez has offered high-end power for most of his career. The issue at times has been very low batting averages, but he could continue to be a fantasy surprise if he bats close to the .256 he compiled last season or better. |

Sun Mar 30 | 07:14 | Eugenio Suarez Extends Home Run Streak To Three Games |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during their loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday evening. Suarez went deep in the final inning off Chicago closer Ryan Pressly. This home run also scored first baseman Josh Naylor. Through the first three games of the season, Suarez has gone deep at least once in all of them and has launched four total. During this stretch, he has tallied seven RBI and held a 1:1 BB:K. The 33-year-old had a slow start to his Arizona tenure last season but swung a hot bat in the second half. After the All-Star break, Suarez posted an elite .307/.341/.602 slash line, and it appears he is picking up right where he left off. Fantasy managers should continue to view the 33-year-old as a must-start option in all formats. He is also worth a look in DFS facing Chicago southpaw Matthew Boyd. |

Sat Mar 29 | 06:52 | Eugenio Suarez Goes Deep Twice On Friday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI during their victory over the Chicago Cubs. Suarez launched his first long ball, which was a two-run shot off Chicago right-hander Jameson Taillon. This long ball scored Pavin Smith. Later in the fourth, Suarez would launch his second two-run shot off Taillon, once again scoring Smith. Suarez went deep on Opening Day and has now launched three long balls over his first two contests. During this impressive start, he has tallied five total RBI and only struck out once. After a slow start in the first half last summer when he posted a mere .216/.302/.366, Suarez appears to be picking up where he left off as he held a stellar .307/.341/.602 line after the All-Star break. The 33-year-old remains a must-start third baseman in all formats. He will look to extend his home run streak to three games on Saturday against Shota Imanaga. |

Sat Nov 2 2024 | 09:37 | Arizona Picks Up Club Option On Eugenio Suarez |
The Arizona Diamondbacks are picking up the 2025 club option on third baseman Eugenio Suarez worth $15 million according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The veteran infielder had a tale of two seasons. During the first half, the third baseman hit for a mere .216/.302/.366 slash line with just ten home runs and 48 RBI. However, after the mid-summer classic, the 33-year-old posted a much-improved .307/.341/.602 line with 20 home runs and 53 RBI. He boasted an above-average 11.3% barrel rate and 42.4% hard-hit rate which suggests his power numbers should continue to be a factor in 2025. Suarez remains a safe bet for upside power as a corner infielder this upcoming season. |

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez slugged his 25th homer on Saturday in an 11-5 loss to the Houston Astros. The veteran is now hitting .244 with 25 home runs, 88 RBI, two stolen bases and 76 runs scored. Signed as a free agent last winter, Suarez looks to be on track for a 30-home-run season as the Diamondbacks fight for a playoff spot. Over his last 15 games, Suarez has seven home runs, 19 RBI, and is hitting a robust .385. |

Sun Aug 25 2024 | 23:39 | Eugenio Suarez Collects Four Hits, Goes Deep |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez continued to swing a hot bat on Sunday, going 4-for-4 with his 20th homer in a 7-5 win over the Boston Red Sox. Suarez added three RBIs and two runs to a stellar overall line. The 33-year-old took Tanner Houck deep in the sixth with two men aboard, putting the D-backs on top for good in this one. Suarez has been very good since the calendar flipped to July, launching 14 homers and driving in 47 runs in 47 games since then. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues while he's swinging the stick so well, and his owners should hope that he can carry it through the rest of the season. |

Wed Jul 31 2024 | 10:02 | Eugenio Suarez Launches Three Homers |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 4-for-6 with three homers and five RBI against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old has had a very productive July, hitting .326 with 10 homers and 27 RBI. He is slashing .326/.394/.744 in the month, which was much-needed for him as he had struggled for much of the season. He was starting to hear footsteps from prospect Deyvison De Los Santos, but De Los Santos was just dealt to Miami at the deadline. The hot month and trade of his competition mean Suarez is locked into his starting role. He is a streaky hitter who might be worth a look on the waiver wire. |

Sun Jul 14 2024 | 09:03 | Eugenio Suarez Slugs 10th Home Run Saturday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 2-for-5 with a single and his 10th home run of the season in Saturday's 12-1 romp over the Blue Jays. The veteran drove in a pair of runs and scored twice as well. It was the third homer in the last four games as Suarez has really turned it on in July. The 32-year-old came into July slashing a paltry .196/.279/.312, but is slashing .317/.417/.707 in July, with four doubles and four home runs during the month so far. He now owns a .211-10-46-38-2 line with a .293 wOBA and 87 wRC+ for the season. |

Thu Jul 11 2024 | 07:07 | Eugenio Suarez Homers, Drives In Three In Wednesday's Win |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez turned in a big performance in his team's 7-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Suarez went 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and three RBI to help power the D-Backs to victory. His homer was a two-run shot off Atlanta starter Charlie Morton in the second inning. It was an absolute bomb that traveled 452 feet with an exit velocity of 110.6 MPH. That being said, Suarez is struggling in his first season in Arizona, hitting just .208 with eight homers, 34 runs, 43 RBI, and two steals over 307 at-bats. That being said, he is showing signs of life of late, hitting .280 with two homers and 12 RBI over his past 15 contests. |

Mon Jul 8 2024 | 00:13 | Eugenio Suarez Cashes In Five On Sunday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez had a big day at the dish on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a homer, a double, two runs, and five RBI in a 9-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. Suarez hit a two-run homer off Dylan Cease to break a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning, leading to a barrage of runs that led to the game becoming a blowout. Suarez has had a tough season but he is showing signs of life in July, in which he is 8-for-19 with three runs, a homer, and seven RBI. The 32-year-old will need to show more before he becomes a viable fantasy option again, but he is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues. |

Thu Jun 27 2024 | 13:18 | Eugenio Suarez Not Playing On Thursday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez is getting the day off on Thursday for the series finale against the visiting Minnesota Twins. It's been a rough year for Suarez, to say the least, in his first year in the desert with the D-backs. He's gone 1-for-22 (.046) with a triple, an RBI and eight strikeouts in his last seven games and is hitting a miserable .192/.274/.312 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 86 strikeouts in 303 trips to the plate in his first 77 games in 2024. If the 32-year-old veteran continues to struggle going into the second half of the season, he could find himself on the bench more often. Infielder Kevin Newman will make the start at the hot corner on Thursday and will hit seventh for the Snakes against Twins right-hander David Festa, who will be making his major-league debut. |

Tue Apr 23 2024 | 13:00 | Eugenio Suarez Brings In Two Runs Monday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez's plate vision was displayed in Monday's 5-3 loss against the St. Luis Cardinals. Suarez went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run, finally connecting at the plate after going hitless in back-to-back games over the weekend against the Giants. He is 21-for-85 (.247) with five doubles, two homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs, eight walks and 24 strikeouts through 23 games. The season has had ups and downs for the third baseman and with his recent slump, the matchup against St. Luis favors him. With the favorable matchups for this week, Suarez is a strong stash option with upside across all formats. |

Sun Apr 14 2024 | 13:59 | Eugenio Suarez Heads To The Bench On Sunday |
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez will be out of the lineup for the first time this season as the Snakes play the rubber match of a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals. The 32-year-old has an excellent start with his new team, with a .259/.313./414 line with two home runs and 12 RBI. Veteran Jace Peterson will man the hot corner and bat in the six-hole this afternoon and comes into this game on a bit of a cold streak, as he has just one hit over the past two weeks. He could be a sneaky play in DFS as he will face Miles Mikolas, who has a 1-1 record and a high 4.76 ERA. |

Fri Mar 8 2024 | 21:03 | Eugenio Suarez Continues Hot Spring On Friday |
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. |

Thu Feb 29 2024 | 15:09 | Eugenio Suarez Scratched With Side Tightness |
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. |

Wed Nov 22 2023 | 14:24 | Eugenio Suarez Shipped To D-Backs In Three-Player Deal |
The Seattle Mariners have traded third baseman Eugenio Suarez to the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for right-handed pitcher Carlos Vargas and catcher Seby Zavala. The 32-year-old Suarez will be in the final season of a seven-year, $66 million contract in 2024, although the D-backs will hold a club option on the veteran for the 2025 campaign. Suarez took a step back at the plate in 2023 but still had a solid season that included a .232 average with 22 home runs, 96 RBI, and a .714 OPS while appearing in all 162 games, production that graded out 2% above the league average, as per his 102 wRC+. Zavala limped to a .171 average with seven homers across 193 plate appearances between the White Sox and D-backs in 2023 but is a highly-regarded defender behind the plate and should serve as Cal Raleigh's backup next season. Vargas, 24, made five appearances in his MLB debut with the D-backs last season, allowing three earned on two homers in that time but he also struck out seven of the 22 batters he faced. He also scuffled to a 7.02 ERA in 38 outings at Triple-A Reno but is a live arm who averaged 99.5 mph on his four-seam baseball in his brief MLB time last season. |

Tue Sep 5 2023 | 16:34 | Mariners Give Eugenio Suarez The Day Off |
Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez will start Tuesday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds on the bench. Believe it or not, this will be Suarez's first real day of rest all season long. Jose Caballero will start at the hot corner and hit eighth in the lineup against Reds rookie right-hander Connor Phillips, who will be making his major-league debut. The 32-year-old Suarez is in desperate need of a break, as he's gone just 4-for-33 (.121) with no home runs, two doubles, no RBI, 14 strikeouts and four runs scored in his last nine starts since Aug. 26. In his second year in Seattle, Suarez is hitting .230 (117-for-508) with 18 home runs, 22 doubles, 83 RBI, 55 runs scored and a league-high 181 strikeouts in 137 games. If he ends the year with an American League-high in K's, it will be the third time in the last five years that Suarez has led the league in strikeouts. |

In 313 at-bats, Suarez carries a .230 batting average with 52 RBI. |
