May 24, 2023; Seattle, Washington, USA; Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez (28) blows a bubble during the game against the Oakland Athletics at T-Mobile Park. Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-Imagn Images The Seattle Mariners could use some good vibes as they chase a playoff berth.
They might have acquired those late Wednesday night.
The Mariners, who open a 10-game homestand Thursday against the Texas Rangers, reportedly re-acquired slugging third baseman Eugenio Suarez in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks, pending physical examinations.
In exchange, the Mariners reportedly sent three minor-leaguers — first baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos — to the Diamondbacks.
Suarez, who played in Seattle from in 2022-23, was considered the biggest bat available on the trade market. He is batting .248 with 36 home runs and 87 RBIs, the latter tied with Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh for the most in the majors.
“Super excited. It’s a great move,” Raleigh said. “Very, very excited for it. Obviously, we know how great a guy is, how great he’s playing this year. Great, great add.”
The Mariners certainly could use Suarez’s pop. They averaged just 3.1 runs per game in going 3-4 on their just-completed trip against the Los Angeles Angels and the Athletics, the bottom two teams in the American League West.
Despite home runs from Julio Rodriguez, Jorge Polanco and Randy Arozarena, the Mariners lost 5-4 to the host A’s on Wednesday in West Sacramento, Calif., as All-Star Bryan Woo surrendered four solo shots.
Suarez was a fan favorite in Seattle with his “good vibes only” mantra.
“He’s pretty much everything you look for in a teammate,” Raleigh said. “He’s supportive. Super nice. Keeps it light in the room. Always positive. And you add on to that, he’s a great player. He’s uplifting. Brings guys together. We saw that when he was here the first time, and we were obviously all sad that he left, but we’re happy that he’s coming back.”
The Rangers are 9-3 since the All-Star break to pull into a second-place tie with Seattle in the AL West race, five games behind the Houston Astros.
Texas won 6-3 Wednesday against the host Angels as Adolis Garcia went deep and Nathan Eovaldi earned his 100th career victory. The result allowed the Rangers to avert a three-game sweep.
“Every game is big for us right now,” Texas manager Bruce Bochy said. “The last thing we wanted was to come in here and lose three, so this was a big, big win for us. … We needed this one in the worst way.”
The Thursday series opener is scheduled to feature a pair of right-handers, the Rangers’ Kumar Rocker (4-4, 5.73 ERA) and the Mariners’ George Kirby (5-5, 4.50).
Rocker is 3-0 over his past seven starts, though he didn’t get a decision Saturday in a 6-5 victory against the visiting Atlanta Braves in a game that went 10 innings. Rocker allowed three runs on five hits over four innings, with three walks and five strikeouts.
Rocker is 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA in three career starts against the Mariners. The decision came April 12 at Seattle when he gave up four runs — three earned — over 3 1/3 innings of a 9-2 defeat. He received a no-decision vs. the Mariners on June 28 after permitting two runs in six innings.
Kirby has dominated the Rangers, going 7-0 with a 1.15 ERA in nine previous starts against them. Overall, he has won four of his past five starts, compiling a 2.72 ERA in that span.

2025 Fantasy Football: Wake up! Keon Coleman is Dave Richard’s favorite sleeper of the summer
It's been a long time since Josh Allen's had a stud receiver to throw to. One whole year. From 2020 to 2023, Stefon Diggs was the alpha in the Bills offense, wrangling anywhere from 9.4 to 10.4 targets per game depending on the season with at least 1,100 yards and eight scores per year. We've seen a receiver do very well with Allen before. We're going to again. But it's a different kind of receiver this time -- Diggs was a smaller, shiftier, speedier receiver who drove defenses batty. Keon Coleman is bigger and stronger ... but if there's anything he proved this summer, it's that he can be shifty and can use quick feet to help him get open. Since the end of last season, Coleman's worked to improve his route-running and agility. It's paid off in spades this […]

Napheesa Collier injury update: Lynx star and WNBA MVP favorite remains out Friday vs. Fever
Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP favorite Napheesa Collier will remain out for her team's game against the Indiana Fever on Friday night. Collier, who has not played since Aug. 2 due to a sprained right ankle, is closing in on a return. She was initially listed as questionable and went through pre-game warm-ups before being ruled out. Collier's injury, which occurred during the Lynx's historic 53-point win over the Las Vegas Aces, stirred controversy because it happened late in the third quarter with her team up by 43 points. Many wondered why Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve still had her superstar in the game. "I don't think about those things," Reeve said at the time. "It's the third quarter of a game on someone else's floor, I don't think the game is over. I don't think like that. She had a sub there […]
