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.

5 months agoThe 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.

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.

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.
