Eugenio Suarez Not Playing On Thursday
5 months agoArizona 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.
