The Diamondbacks appear to be taking concrete steps towards an eventual Eugenio Suarez trade involving either the Tigers or Yankees.

Their 6-0 loss to right-hander Paul Skenes on Sunday, July 27, meant the Diamondbacks left town having dropped two of three to a subpar Pittsburgh Pirates team. It also meant they lost a second consecutive game started by a pitcher who could be traded in the coming days.

Rookie Troy Melton pitched seven scoreless innings in his second career start, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Monday night.

Dalton De Micheli, an 8-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks superfan, had an unforgettable night on Chase Field after he got to meet and spend time with players. It was organized by the team and our friends at KPNX 12 News in Phoenix.

The Arizona Diamondbacks lost 5-1 to the Detroit Tigers on Monday, July 28, and All-Star Eugenio Suarez was hit by a pitch again.

Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez hopes he avoided major injury when he was hit in the right index finger by a pitch late in Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

The 34-year-old leads MLB in RBI with 87 and is arguably the best hitter rumored to be available at the July 31 trade deadline. The Diamondbacks, who fell to 51-56 after Monday’s loss, appear to be sellers and already traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners last week.
