Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Posts 19th four-homer game in history
Rotowire
Suarez went 4-for-4 with four home runs and five RBI in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to Atlanta.
Suarez became the 19th player in major-league history with a four-homer game, and the first to do it since J.D. Martinez accomplished the feat Sept. 4, 2017, also as a member of the Diamondbacks. Suarez is the third player to hit four homers in a loss, joining Philadelphia's Ed Delahanty in 1896 and Atlanta's Bob Horner in 1986. This was also the second-fewest RBI in a four-homer game, only one better than Seattle's Mike Cameron, who hit four solo shots versus the White Sox on May 2, 2002. Suarez completed the feat from the No. 6 spot in the lineup, but Arizona's 1-5 hitters went a combined 1-for-18 with five walks in front of him. The historic performance gave Suarez the major-league lead with 10 long balls this season. He's added 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and a stolen base but is batting just .202 over 27 contests this season. He has shown signs of improvement, hitting safely in six of the last eight games while going 9-for-27 (.333) in that span.

Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Productive night at plate in loss
Rotowire
Suarez went 1-for-2 with a double, two runs scored and two walks in Friday's loss to Atlanta.
Suarez has really struggled recently, so it was encouraging to see him put together a productive outing at the plate. Over his last 14 contests, the slugging third baseman is hitting just .180 (9-for-50) with one home run, three doubles, four RBI and six runs scored. Suarez, who entered Friday's action with an elite 58.6 percent hard-hit rate, hit five homers over his first five games of the campaign, which presents a glimpse of the type of power upside he offers in fantasy leagues in spite of his recent slump.

The third baseman is looking to avoid a season-starting slump like the one that nearly cost Suarez his starting job last year, although he wound up putting together his best numbers since 2019 once he got going.

Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: Knocks in two
Rotowire
Suarez went 2-for-2 with two RBI in Friday's spring game against the Rockies.
Suarez was one of several Arizona regulars to start the Cactus League opener. He batted cleanup and delivered a two-run single in the third inning. It was a good start to spring training for Suarez, who did not hit well in the spring of 2024, which carried over into the first half of the regular season (.668 OPS).
The Diamondbacks exercised Suarez's $15 million club option for 2025 on Friday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Suarez reached the 30-HR and 100-RBI benchmarks while slashing .256/.319/.469 in his first season with the Diamondbacks. Now that he's officially locked in for the 2025 campaign, he'll almost certainly retain his everyday role at third base.
