The Arizona Diamondbacks were swept in a three game series by the Houston Astros this week, dropping their record to 50-53. That leaves them still 5.5 games out

Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez hasn't pitched since a loss on July 10 in San Diego. He's given up five home runs in his past two starts.

The Diamondbacks may not sell Eugenio Suarez and Merrill Kelly at the MLB trade deadline. Is that the right call?

According to a league source, the Diamondbacks are scouting the minor-league systems of at least some of the teams interested in Suárez. Those teams, according to league sources and published reports, include the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds and Seattle Mariners.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are inching closer to selling at the trade deadline following Wednesday's loss to the Houston Astros.

Astros manager Joe Espada has so much confidence in his players and his team’s winning process that he had no trouble sitting star second baseman Jose Altuve and hotshot rookie Cam Smith for rest on Wednesday,
