Eugenio Suarez Homers, Drives In Three In Loss
Eugenio Suarez turned in a big game in a 7-5 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Suarez went 2-for-4 with a homer, a walk, and three RBI in the 12-inning loss. The veteran third baseman went deep for a two-run shot off of Minnesota starter J.A. Happ in the fourth inning. Suarez is now hitting .176 with 15 homers, 36 runs, and 42 RBI across 262 at-bats. While the batting average isn't there, Suarez is contributing across the other stat categories, making him worth starting in most fantasy leagues as long as you can withstand the low average. He has been picking it up at the plate a bit of late, hitting .241 over his past 15 games.

Eugenio Suarez Hits Four Homers On Saturday
Eugenio Suarez became the 19th player in MLB history to hit four homers in a game on Saturday. Suarez could not be stopped in this one, hitting a homer in each of his plate appearances and collecting five RBI. Unfortunately for him and the D-backs, they still ended up losing 8-7 to the Atlanta Braves. The 33-year-old is now hitting .202 with 17 runs, 10 homers, 20 RBI, and a stolen base. After a massive hot streak to start the season, Suarez had been extremely cold coming into this game, hitting only one homer over his last 21 games and seeing his OPS drop from 1.492 to .690 in that stretch. Fantasy managers will hope that this game ignites him into another heater.

Eugenio Suarez Sitting On Sunday
Eugenio Suarez is not in Sunday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Chicago Cubs. Suarez has started in each of the first 21 games of the regular season. During this stretch, the power-hitting third baseman has held a .145/.253/.421 slash line with three doubles and six home runs. He enjoyed an impressive start, holding a .250/.379/.919 line with five long balls across the first seven games. Over his last 14 games, he has posted a rough .096 AVG. Fantasy managers should expect the 33-year-old to return to the starting nine on Tuesday, when they host the Tampa Bay Rays. As a result, Garrett Hampson will cover the hot corner on Sunday afternoon and bat in the nine-hole.

Eugenio Suarez Hits Grand Slam In Friday Afternoon's Loss
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.

Eugenio Suarez Hits Go-Ahead Grand Slam Tuesday
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.
