    • Steals, scores in loss
      De La Cruz went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Milwaukee.

      Advice: De La Cruz made his impact in the ninth inning when he walked, stole second base and came home on Jeimer Candelario's double. The theft was De La Cruz's league-leading 35th of the season. His stolen-base attempts have dropped during the month of June. He's attempted four steals in 13 games this month compared to 19 attempts in March/April and 16 in May. Rotowire.com Today, 6:07 am
       
    • Swats homer Friday
      Suarez went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Friday's 7-1 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Suarez led off the fourth inning with his sixth home run of the season. His struggles at the plate have put his job at the Diamondbacks' primary third baseman in jeopardy, but Suarez has started two of the three games since manager Torey Lovullo indicated Blaze Alexander would see more time at third base.

    • Eugenio Suárez homers in blowout win
      Eugenio Suárez hit a solo homer in a blowout win over the White Sox on Friday.

      Advice: Suárez swatted a solo shot in the fourth inning off Chris Flexen — his former teammate in Seattle — to give D-Backs a 4-1 lead. It’s been a struggle for the 32-year-old third baseman, as even with the roundtripper he’s hitting only .197/.274/.324. Rotoworld Friday, 9:23 pm
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      Freeman is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Freeman is hitting .194 through nine games in June and will sit Friday after starting the previous five games. Daniel Schneemann will start in center field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:39 pm

    • Back in lineup
      Suarez started at third base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's 11-1 win over the Angels. He was also hit by a pitch.

      Advice: Suarez returned to the lineup after being replaced at the hot corner by Blaze Alexander the previous day. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Alexander will be given more opportunities at third with Suarez (.195/.267/.309) mired in a season-long slump. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:59 am
       
    • Playing time to drop
      Suarez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, and Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Blaze Alexander will receive more playing time at third base moving forward, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: Wednesday's absence is just Suarez's fourth from the lineup this season, but it appears he'll sit more often going forward due to his .197/.263/.312 slash line through 66 games. Lovullo didn't specify how the playing time will be split, so it's possible Suarez still sees the majority of the action at the hot corner. Regardless, the 32-year-old should no longer be considered the Diamondbacks' everyday third baseman, at least for the time being. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Returns to lineup
      Chapman (hamstring) is back in the Giants' lineup versus the Astros on Tuesday.

      Advice: Chapman suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's game versus the Rangers and missed the two following games because of it. With the third baseman no longer sidelined, Casey Schmitt will head back to the bench. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Matt Chapman returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Astros
      Matt Chapman (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Astros.

      Advice: As expected, Chapman is back at third base and batting cleanup on Tuesday night following a two-game absence due to a relatively minor hamstring issue. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:29 pm
       
    • Rafael Devers (knee) back in lineup Tuesday
      Rafael Devers (knee) is hitting cleanup and playing third base against the Phillies on Tuesday.

      Advice: Devers missed Sunday’s game while dealing with soreness in his knee, but he’s back in the lineup for Tuesday’s opener against the Phillies. The 27-year-old will face off against Zack Wheeler while Bobby Dalbec retreating to the bench. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:07 pm
