Suárez broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a two-run double off of Twins’ right-hander Joe Ryan. That would be the extent of the scoring for the Reds in the ballgame, but that’s all Brandon Williamson and company would require. Suárez is off to a nice start in his return to the Reds this season, slashing .257/.333/.414 with three homers and 11 RBI.

Suárez hasn’t made a ton of noise in his return to Cincinnati so far. That may start to change as the weather begins to turn. The 34-year-old slugger took Tyler Mahle deep, going back-to-back with rookie sensation Sal Stewart in the opening frame, for his third round-tripper of the season as part of a three-hit effort.

Suárez started the day on the bench, but then the Pirates went to left-hander Mason Montgomery out of the bullpen, Suárez entered the game, and hit a 410-foot home run that left the bat at 107.3 mph. It was Suárez’s second home run of the season to go along with six RBIs.

It’s just a routine day off for the veteran with a day game after a night game. Nathaniel Lowe will start in his place at designated hitter and draws a tough assignment with Paul Skenes pitching for the Pirates.

Suárez’s homer off Greg Weissert in the sixth was projected at 431 feet. Two innings earlier, he had a 403-foot flyout that Statcast said would have been a homer in seven ballparks. Suárez is going to struggle to hit for average, and he’s already lost some fantasy value by getting dropped from fourth to fifth in the Reds lineup, but there still aren’t many better bets in terms of homers and RBI, especially if Matt McLain and Sal Stewart continue to hit like this.

Luis Arraez drew a rare walk on what looked to be strike two to open the ninth against Garrett Whitlock and then pinch-runner Javier Sanoja stole second on a close play. Suárez followed with a clean double into the gap in right-center for the go-ahead run, and Daniel Palencia mowed down Kyle Schwarber, pinch-hitter Gunnar Henderson and Roman Anthony in the bottom of the ninth. Team USA was shut out for seven innings until Bryce Harper hit a game-tying two-run homer in the eighth. Venezuela’s previous runs came in a Maikel Garcia sac fly and a Wilyer Abreu homer. It’s Venezuela’s first WBC title, and the U.S. is the runnerup for the second straight tournament after losing to Japan by the same score in the final last time out.

Suárez was one of Venezuela’s heroes during Monday’s comeback win over Italy to reach the WBC final, launching a solo homer off starter Aaron Nola to jump-start a four-run outburst. He’ll get the nod at DH after appearing in just four of the six games for Venezuela to this point in the tournament. Here’s the full lineup: Ronald Acuña Jr. (RF), Maikel Garcia (3B), Luis Arraez (1B), Suárez (DH), Gleyber Torres (2B), Ezequiel Tovar (SS), Wilyer Abreu (LF), Salvador Perez (C) and Jackson Chourio (CF).

Suárez’s homer off Aaron Nola put Venezuela on the board with the score 2-0 on the fourth, and the team rallied for three runs on a walk and then four straight two-out singles from Jackson Chourio, Ronald Acuña Jr., Maikel Garcia and Luis Arraez in the seventh. Eduardo Bazardo, Andrés Machado and Daniel Palencia shut the door from there. It’s Venezuela’s first time in the finals of the WBC. They’re expected to start Eduardo Rodriguez against Team USA and Nolan McLean.

This deal was reported on Sunday and is now official. With the Reds adding Ke’Bryan Hayes last year, Suárez figures to be the team’s primary designated hitter in 2026. He will hit in the middle of the order and could surpass 40 home runs yet again while playing in Great American Ballpark. This seemingly cements him as a top 10 third baseman in fantasy baseball this year.

The biggest homer in Mariners history? With the bases loaded and no out in the bottom of the eighth, Suárez went the other way to give Seattle a 6-2 lead and ultimately a 3-2 lead in the series. His other homer was a pulled shot off Kevin Gausman that gave the Mariners a 1-0 lead in the second. With the win, Seattle is now one win away from their first Fall Classic trip in franchise history. Suárez has been terrible for the overwhelming majority of the postseason, but few are capable of providing long balls more than his right-handed bat.

It’s been a poor few months for Suárez since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline. This was just his fourth multi-hit game with Seattle and his second inning homer snapped a 32 at-bat scoreless streak. Here’s to hoping this huge game can finally get him off the schneid.

Suárez came into the day hitting just .188/.250/.393 in 32 games since being traded to the Mariners. He does now have eight home runs in 33 games with the team, so he is providing value in the power department. On the season, Suárez has 45 home runs and 109 RBI in what has been a tremendous season. He will be a name to closely monitor in free agency this offseason.

Suárez went back-to-back with Julio Rodríguez for his 43rd homer and it gave Seattle a 5-2 lead. The 34-year-old has not been nearly as good with Seattle as he was with Arizona, but he is up to seven homers and 19 RBI with the Mariners since being acquired just before the deadline.

Suárez took Padres starter Yu Darvish deep in the fourth inning for his 42nd round-tripper of the season. He also matched his previous career-high mark, which he set back in 2018 with Cincinnati, in the RBI department by collecting his 104th of the season on the 382-foot moonshot to left-center field. He’s just seven big flies away from tying his career-high mark with just over one month left in the season.

Suárez broke up a perfect four innings from Luis Morales and tied the game at 1-1 with his 40th homer of the season. After an awful first 10 games with the team, Suárez has turned things around and is driving the baseball on a much more consistent basis. There’s an outside chance the Mariners are going to end up with two players with 50 homers on the year if Suárez can finish the year hot and Cal Raleigh can just be Cal Raleigh.

Suárez prevented the Mariners from getting shut out against the Mets with a solo home run off Edwin Díaz in the ninth inning. It was the 38th homer of the season for the 34-year-old slugger. He’s slashing .235/.305/.540 with 94 RBI across 498 plate appearances.

Suárez took Davis Martin deep for a two-run homer in the fourth inning for his first home run since reuniting with the Mariners at the trade deadline. He later drew a walk and scored in the sixth. The 34-year-old slugger is up to 37 homers with 89 RBI while slashing .243/.314/.565 across 458 plate appearances.

Suárez doubled in his second at-bat of the game and came around to score on a wild pitch. The 34-year-old’s return to Seattle saw him bat fifth, and it gives him a chance to drive in players like Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez and Josh Naylor; among others. You can do worse, and it could help make Suárez an excellent fantasy option even if he may not put up the same kinda homer totals he did with Arizona.

This move was reported around midnight and is now official. It’s not a great landing spot for Suárez, who hit .234/.327/.423 for the Mariners between 2022 and 2023. T-Mobile Park is one of the worst parks for right-handed hitters, and so much of Suárez’s value is based on his power production. There’s nothing you can do in fantasy leagues but hold on and hope that he figured it out.

Tyler Locklear and pitching prospects Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos will go back in the deal, says MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer. Suárez, who batted .234/.327/.423 for the Mariners between 2022 and ’23, had a miserable time hitting at T-Mobile the first time around, but the Mariners obviously think things are different now. Suárez will step in for Ben Williamson at third base in Seattle, and he’ll probably see a drop in fantasy value. The Diamondbacks will go with Blaze Alexander at third until Jordan Lawlar is ready to return from a hamstring injury. Locklear should step in as their primary first baseman and could offer value in deep mixed leagues.

Suárez missed Tuesday’s game after being hit in the hand on Monday, but he’s back on Wednesday. It’s a crucial step for him to show teams that he’s healthy, so the Diamondbacks can swing a deal for him ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

With Isaac Paredes (hamstring) out for an extended period of time, the Astros are looking for replacements at third base. They’ve been linked to both Suárez and Carlos Correa, and it remains to be seen how aggressive they will be in filling that gap in the lineup.

Great news for the Diamondbacks, who would have missed out on what figures to be a nice haul if Suárez had suffered a break when he was hit by a Will Vest pitch last night. Blaze Alexander is starting at third base in Suárez’s place tonight.

Suárez was hit by a pitch on Monday, and we assume that’s the reason for his absence, though it’s also possible it’s because a trade is in the works. X-rays came back negative, so it shouldn’t get in the way of a trade or keep him out of the lineup for long.

It’s an encouraging update after Suárez — arguably the top name on the block leading into this week’s trade deadline — was plunked on the right hand by a 96-mph fastball in Monday’s series opener in Detroit. The 34-year-old slugger will undergo further evaluation and possibly additional imaging, but initial tests didn’t reveal anything serious. An update on his status should come in before Tuesday’s contest, but it appears the Diamondbacks have avoided disaster.

It’s absolutely brutal timing, as Suárez is arguably the biggest name on the trade block ahead of Thursday’s deadline. The 34-year-old power-hitting third baseman will undergo X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures after being hit on the right hand during the ninth inning of Monday’s series opener in Detroit. He finished 1-for-3 at the plate. There should be an update on his status shortly.

The Tigers could definitely use more right-handed power, and Suárez brings plenty of it to the table. If the Tigers get a deal done, it’d turn Zach McKinstry back into more of a utilityman and probably result in less playing time for Wenceel Pérez and Matt Vierling.
