The Houston Astros are looking to make a deadline splash based on recent reporting. But, it's trending towards not the position they've been linked to for some time. Instead, they are pursuing a third baseman amid Issac Paredes' injury.

Third baseman Eugenio Suarez is in his second season with the Arizona Diamondbacks after making his big-league debut in 2014. The 33-year-old right-handed power bat established himself as an offensive threat during his seven-year tenure with the Cincinnati Reds, where he made his first All-Star team in 2018 and smashed 189 home runs in 916 games.
