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

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.

Also, Aaron Nola’s road back to the Phillies’ starting rotation will begin with triple-A Lehigh Valley this week. Nick Castellanos is out of the lineup after jamming his left knee on Friday night.
