Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.
Suarez reached the 40-homer mark for the second time in his career when he went yard in the fifth inning. The third baseman's return to Seattle started off slow, but he's picked up the pace lately, hitting safely in eight of the last nine games. He's 10-for-34 (.294) with three homers in that time, though this was his first home game in that span. Suarez has a .238/.306/.548 slash line with 98 RBI, 74 runs scored, three stolen bases and 23 doubles over 126 games between the Mariners and Diamondbacks this year. He'll need to stay dialed in with his power to take a run at reaching the 50-homer mark for the first time.

Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: First homer since Seattle return
Rotowire
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the White Sox.
This was Suarez's first homer (and second hit) over four games since he returned to Seattle. He's been slumping a bit, batting just .143 (7-for-49) over his last 13 games dating back to July 21 when he was still with Arizona, though four of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. He's also racked up 19 strikeouts during the slump. The third baseman is at a .243/.314/.565 slash line with 37 homers, 89 RBI, 68 runs scored and two steals through 111 contests this season.

Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Productive in return to Seattle
Rotowire
Suarez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.
Suarez made his presence felt in his first appearance since landing back with the Mariners, doubling and then scoring the game's first run in the fourth inning. Suarez might miss working from hitter-friendly Chase Field -- the All-Star third baseman posted a 1.011 OPS in 54 home games with Arizona -- but he should have plenty of RBI chances going forward despite shifting to pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park with Seattle.

Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Returning to Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners acquired Suarez from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday in exchange for first baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handers Juan Burgos and Hunter Cranton, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
After slashing .248/.321/.577 with 36 home runs through 105 games with the Diamondbacks this season, Suarez will return to Seattle, where he spent the 2022 and 2023 season. Suarez will replace Ben Williamson as the club's third baseman and is likely to bat in the heart of the order, giving the Mariners a much-needed power bat as the team looks to make a push for a playoff spot over the final two months of the season.
Suarez (finger) had an MRI and CT scan come back negative Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.
Suarez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury after being hit by a pitch on the right index finger Monday. The injury still clouds the third baseman's outlook ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, but his potential return to the lineup Wednesday could help facilitate a deal. According to Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, manager Torey Lovullo wouldn't commit to Suarez being available to pinch hit Tuesday, but it sounds as though he could be utilized if he can test out his swing with no issues.

Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: On bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Suarez (finger) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
The third baseman had X-rays on his right index finger come back negative after being hit by a pitch during Monday's contest, but it's not a surprise he's sitting Tuesday since manager Torey Lovullo said additional testing was scheduled. Suarez is arguably the top player available ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, so there's league-wide interest in his injury diagnosis. Blaze Alexander is manning the hot corner Tuesday for Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: In Friday's lineup
Rotowire

The 34-year-old infielder slashed .250/.320/.569 with 31 homers and 78 RBI before the break and is a likely candidate to be brought up in trade discussions over the next couple of weeks.

Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez: X-rays negative after HBP
Rotowire
X-rays on Suarez's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during the All-Star Game, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
After taking a 96-mph fastball off his hand in the eighth inning, Suarez remained in the game for the remainder of regulation, but he wasn't able to participate as planned in the extra-inning swing-off. It doesn't seem like he suffered any structural damage due to the incident, however, and he'll now have a couple of days off to recover before the second half kicks off Friday. The 33-year-old third baseman slashed .250/.320/.569 with 31 homers before the break and is a candidate to be traded over the next couple of weeks before the deadline.
