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.

Arizona Diamondbacks star third baseman Eugenio Suárez took a fastball to the hand during Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers and will have X-rays done, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase — a rumored MLB trade deadline target — has been placed on paid leave in connection with a sports-gambling investigation, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday. Clase is reportedly on leave through Aug. 31, per The Athletic's Zack Meisel.

As the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaches, the action is picking up. On Sunday Night Baseball, the New York Mets completed a sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 5-3 victory.

The Detroit Tigers have drawn a line at what players are available to trade as the MLB trade deadline inches closer.
