Rotowire
Suarez won't be available Tuesday and Wednesday for the remaining two games of the Reds' series versus the Padres in order to take the U.S. naturalization test, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.
After signing with the Tigers in 2008 as an international free agent out of Venezuela and kicking off a 13-year MLB career in 2014, Suarez is now looking to make the United States his permanent home.

Following the Reds' off day Thursday, Suarez will likely make his return to the lineup in Friday's series opener versus the Brewers.

Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Slugs 20th homer
Rotowire
Suarez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 17-5 loss to the Cubs.
Suarez jumped on a Kevin Gausman fastball up in the zone for his 20th home run of the season. He's recorded at least 20 homers in 10 of his last 11 seasons, with the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign being the outlier. After he was placed on outright waivers last week, there were no takers for Suarez, so he rejoined the Reds and should remain with the club through the end of the season.

Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Stays with Reds after clearing waivers
Rotowire
Suarez has cleared outright waivers and will remain with the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Suarez has slashed only .208/.295/.410 with a 34.9 percent strikeout rate this season and doesn't have much defensive value, so it's not surprising that teams were unwilling to pay him around $3 million for the remainder of the season. The 35-year-old should continue to see everyday at-bats for Cincinnati down the stretch.
The Reds placed Suarez on outright waivers Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The Reds signed Suarez to a $15 million deal during the offseason in an effort to bolster their offense and contend for a postseason berth. However, with a month remaining in the regular season, Cincinnati sits in last place in the NL Central at 63-71 -- nine games back of the final wild-card spot. The team will now attempt to save some money by making Suarez available to the other 29 teams via waivers, but the 35-year-old is not a lock to be claimed after slashing just .208/.295/.410 across 410 plate appearances this season while still carrying a $3 million price tag for the rest of the year.
Suarez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cardinals.
Suarez will receive a routine day of rest after being in the lineup for each of the previous 16 contests. Elly De La Cruz is getting a designated-hitter day, while Ke'Bryan Hayes will handle third base for the Reds.
