Eugenio Suárez has extended his home run streak for the Arizona Diamondbacks, hitting his fifth in three games. Suárez went deep Monday night against the Houston Astros.

Eugenio Suarez, one of the most coveted bats ahead of the trade deadline, hit his fifth home run in three games for the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Despite recent inconsistencies, the Diamondbacks are showing signs of a potential playoff push. Ketel Marte returned from the restricted list but did not start in the Sunday game. A year ago, the Diamondbacks ripped off a hot streak in the second half that vaulted them back into contention.

Eugenio Suárez's defensive value, or lack thereof, is a consideration for the New York Yankees as they weigh a possible trade for the Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman, according to The Athletic's Jim Bowden.

The Yankees can’t say they’re interested in trading for the Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez — that would be tampering — but manager Aaron Boone admitted he’s paying attention a scorching-hot right-handed slugger who led the National League with 35 homers and 85 RBIs through Sunday.

The New York Yankees have their eyes on Eugenio Suarez ahead of the trade deadline, and his recent power surge is making him more appealing.
