Diamondbacks’ Eugenio Suarez named NL Player of the Week

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez took home the NL Player of the Week honors on Monday.

He marks the first player to receive the weekly honor this season.

And it’s not hard to see why.

Suarez wasted little time filling the stat sheet across Arizona’s four-game series with the Chicago Cubs, recording four home runs and seven RBIs while slashing .286/.412/1.143 with a 1.555 OPS.

He is currently tied for the MLB lead in homers with New York’s Aaron Judge and paces the National League in slugging and total bases (16). He’s tied with Chicago’s Kyler Tucker for the NL lead in RBIs.

Suarez’s hot start to the season isn’t all that surprising, given a strong spring training that saw him hit three homers and 18 RBIs in 21 games (62 plate appearances).

Despite Suarez’s tear, the D-backs split their opening series with the Cubs, 2-2.

Eugenio Suarez, Diamondbacks off to New York

Suarez and the D-backs now travel to New York for a three-game series against the hard-hitting Yankees and their torpedo bats.

The Yankees are off to a hot start behind a 3-0 record and MLB-leading 15 home runs.

New York also paces baseball with a .333 average. The team right behind it? Arizona (.329).

Arizona is back in action Tuesday afternoon against New York. First pitch is slated for 4:05 p.m. MST and can be heard on the Arizona Sports app, 98.7 and arizonasports.com.
