Yankees in pursuit of Eugenio Suarez trade as Diamondbacks slugger continues home run barrage
The market for Eugenio Suarez could be heating up as much as his bat is — with the Yankees squarely in the mix. The Diamondbacks' slugging All-Star third baseman hit his fifth home run in the last three games Monday night during a 6-3 loss to the Astros, giving him an NL-best 36 homers this season. And the Yankees are among the teams who have inquired about the 34-year-old who will be a free agent at season's end, The Post's Jon Heyman reports. The Mariners, who Suarez played for in 2022 and '23, and the Cubs are among the other clubs who have called about Suarez ahead of next Thursday's MLB trade deadline. Suarez, whose 86 RBIs leads MLB, hit two home runs on both Saturday and Sunday and has three multi-homer games in his last six appearances. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez hits his 36th home run of the season, a solo home run against the Astros on July 21, 2025. Getty Images He's 9-for-20 during that six-game stretch with five walks and zero strikeouts. Since moving Jazz Chisholm back to second and cutting DJ LeMahieu, the Yankees have been left with a massive void at third base as rookie Jorbit Vivas (.173 average) and Oswald Peraza (.150 average) have been splitting time there. The Diamondbacks (50-51) had won four in a row before Monday's loss. They're not completely out of the playoff race at 5.5 games back of the third wild-card spot, but they'd have to jump four teams and their pitching has been brutal. Given Suarez's current performance, age and contract status, Arizona may be compelled to get whatever they can get for him by the deadline while his value is high. While Suarez said he's 'happy' in Phoenix, he addressed the possibility of joining the Yankees last Monday at MLB's All-Star festivities. Eugenio Suarez celebrates his home run against the Astros on July 21, 2025. Getty Images 'Yankees is Yankees — I feel like it's a team that wants to win,' Suárez said. 'They had the [World Series] chance from last year, but they are hungry still. 'If I go over there, like I said, I would do my best over there. Try to help them win the World Series.' The Yankees (55-45) fell to the Blue Jays on Monday and are now four games behind Toronto for the AL East lead.

MLB All-Star Game starting lineups: Skenes, Skubal pitch; batting order
"It's such a huge honor to be on the stage and play with all these unbelievable players," Skenes said, "some of them that I've watched for years." It's the second All-Star start in a row for Skenes, who was picked to open in 2024 despite having just 11 MLB starts under his belt. Skenes has an NL-best 2.01 ERA in 20 starts this season and has surrendered just six home runs, but has a 4-8 record for the last-place Pirates. "Excited to go oat it with these guys tomorrow night, and obviously be able to give the ball to Tarik Skubal," Boone said. "Coming off a Cy Young season, and continuing that dominance in the first half of the season ... Can't wait to see him go get us off to a good start tomorrow." Skubal, the 2024 AL Cy Young winner, has been even better this year. The 28-year-old is 10-2 with 2.23 ERA, and and leads the AL in strikeouts per nine (11.4), WHIP (0.826) and strikeouts per walk (9.6) - all up from last year's historic campaign. Here's a look at the full starting lineups: MLB All-Star Game starting lineups American League Starting pitcher: Tarik Skubal, Tigers 2B Gleyber Torres, Tigers LF Riley Greene, Tigers RF Aaaron Judge, Yankees C Cal Raleigh, Mariners 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays DH Ryan O'Hearn, Orioles 3B Junior Caminero, Rays CF Javier Baez, Tigers SS Jacob Wilson, Athletics National League Starting pitcher: Paul Skenes, Pirates

Bohm, Schwarber each hit 2-run homers to power Phillies past Reds, 5-1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber each hit two-run homers and Edmundo Sosa added a solo shot to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. Phillies starter Ranger Suárez was pulled by manager Rob Thomson after throwing just 80 pitches in five innings. He struck out six and lowered his ERA to 1.99, putting the left-hander in prime position to make his second straight All-Star team. Suárez allowed seven earned runs in his first start of the season, and has now allowed only 11 over his last 11 starts. The circumstances of his early exit were not immediately known, Suárez had pitched at least seven innings in each of his last five starts and thrown at least six innings in all but his first start of the year. Bohm hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning off Reds starter Nick Lodolo (5-6) for a 3-1 lead and Schwarber connected on his 27th homer of the year in the eighth to make it 5-1. Will Benson hit a solo homer off Suárez for the Reds in the fifth, and Sosa followed with a solo shot in the bottom of half of the inning off Lodolo to make it 1-1. Lodolo struck out eight and allowed three runs over six innings. Jordan Romano (1-3) earned the win and was the first of four Phillies relievers to each toss a scoreless inning. Key moment Cincinnati's first two runners reached in the eighth against Orion Kerkering. Spencer Steer grounded into a double play off the Phillies reliever and Noelvi Marte was retired on a comebacker to end the threat. Key stat Trea Turner had two hits to add to his NL-best total with 108. He also leads the league in multi-hit games with 31. Up next The Reds send Chase Burns (0-1, 13.50 ERA) to the mound Sunday against Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler (8-3, 2.27 ERA). ___ AP MLB:
