    Eugenio Suárez homered four times and drove in five runs, but the Diamondbacks fell 8-7 to the Braves on Saturday in 10 innings.
    It’s the first time a player has homered four times since J.D. Martinez did it for the Diamondbacks in 2017. Three of those blasts were solo shots, including the game-tying homer against Raisel Iglesias to tie the record. Per Jayson Stark of The Athletic, Suárez had four homers in this game, and five singles on the season. The question now becomes when — if ever — we’ll see a five-homer game.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #0

    Marcus Stroman (knee) was charged with three runs — two earned — over 3 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a minor league rehab start for Double-A Somerset.
    Stroman struck out four and threw 55 pitches (34 strikes) in his second rehab outing. The 34-year-old veteran figures to be an option for New York’s pitching staff at some point in the next few weeks, but it’s a bit unclear what his exact role will wind up being.
    Why Astros OF Smith could be in for 'hot' summer
    Eric Samulski details why Houston Astros rookie outfielder Cam Smith could be a valuable add for fantasy managers due to his strong contact rate and improving batting average.
  • CIN Starting Pitcher #81
    Reds RHP prospect Chase Burns recorded seven strikeouts and allowed one run over seven innings on Wednesday for Triple-A Louisville.
    Burns continues to look like the best pitching prospect in baseball. The hard-throwing 22-year-old has allowed just three runs with a 14/4 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings (two starts) since arriving on the doorstep of the majors. He’s blazed through three levels in Cincinnati’s system this year, compiling a surreal 1.77 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 89/13 K/BB ratio over 66 innings (13 starts). He could wind up arriving in the big leagues at some point in the second half, especially if he keeps dominating at the Triple-A level.
  • ATH Right Fielder #4
    Lawrence Butler and Tyler Soderstrom are on the bench for Wednesday’s game against the Astros.
    Butler and Soderstrom will take a seat against Astros lefty ace Framber Valdez with Max Schuemann taking over in left field and bumping up to the leadoff spot.
  • FA Left Fielder #18
    Braves OF José Azocar has elected free agency.
    Azocar will test the open market for a new opportunity after receiving exactly one plate appearance during his time with Atlanta. The 29-year-old outfielder went unclaimed on waivers earlier this week after being jettisoned from the club’s 40-man roster.
  • COL 1st Baseman #7
    Rockies sent 1B Keston Hiura outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.
    Hiura passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from Colorado’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 28-year-old first baseman went 4-for-18 at the dish during an eight-game stint with the Rockies.
  • PIT Catcher #59
    Pirates sent C Brett Sullivan outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.
    Sullivan will hang around with Pittsburgh as emergency organizational catching depth after going unclaimed on waivers following his removal from the club’s 40-man roster earlier this week. The 31-year-old backstop got into three games for the Pirates while both Endy Rodríguez and Joey Bart were sidelined due to injury.
  • NYY Shortstop #19
    Yankees sent INF Pablo Reyes outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
    Reyes has the option to elect free agency, but might wind up sticking around with New York as emergency infield depth. The 31-year-old bench infielder was removed from the Yankees’ active roster earlier this week and went unclaimed on waivers.
  • HOU Shortstop #10
    Astros recalled INF/OF Shay Whitcomb from Triple-A Sugar Land.
    Whitcomb has put up some monster numbers the last few years on the doorstep of the majors, but he’s been unable to parlay that success into production at the highest level. The versatile 26-year-old would make an intriguing utility specialist for the Astros and figures to continue getting opportunities. His latest chance comes in the wake of veteran infielder Brendan Rodgers hitting the shelf with an oblique strain.
  • HOU Relief Pitcher #72
    Astros recalled RHP Nick Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land.
    Hernandez gets the call to fortify Houston’s bullpen depth with Jason Alexander going back to the minors following Tuesday’s spot start in Sacramento. The 30-year-old righty has yet to pitch in the big leagues this season after making five relief appearances last year for the Astros.
  • HOU 2nd Baseman #1
    Astros placed 2B Brendan Rodgers on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
    Rodgers has been nearly invisible this season after cracking Houston’s season-opening roster, hitting .191/.266/.278 with two homers, 11 RBI and zero stolen bases through 43 games
