Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez won his third National League Player of the Week award of 2025 on Monday, becoming the first player in franchise history to earn the honor thrice in a single season.
He did so before recaching the midway point in the season. Meanwhile, Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh won the American League Player of the Week.
Suarez hit .440 over six games last week at Toronto and Colorado, clubbing four home runs with 10 RBIs on the road. Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte made a case for the honor, as well, hitting .458 in six games with a home run and five doubles.

Suarez blasted his 300th career home run in Friday’s 14-8 victory at Coors Field, one of 12 active players to reach 300 career home runs.
His 25 home runs this season are tied for the second most before the All-Star break in Diamondbacks history with Steve Finley. Luis Gonzalez hit 35 home runs before the break in 2001, so Suarez would have to go on quite a run to challenge that record with 20 games to play.
Suarez is inching closer to another milestone with 898 career RBIs. With two more, he would become the 14th active player with 900 or more. He entered Monday leading the majors with 67 RBIs this season, one ahead of Raleigh.
The veteran third baseman is putting himself squarely in the All-Star Game conversation.
MLB dropped its All-Star voting update on Monday with Phase 1 ending on Thursday. The top two players at each position via the fan vote move onto Phase 2 to compete in a head-to-head vote for a starting spot. Suarez was third among NL third basemen in Monday’s update, trailing San Diego’s Manny Machado and Los Angeles’ Max Muncy, so he will need a late push to enter Phase 2. National recognition may give him a platform to make up ground.
Suarez has been an All-Star once in his career, making the team in 2018 with the Cincinnati Reds.
