The New York Yankees have a backup plan if they are not able to trade for Eugenio Suárez over the trade deadline.

Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, who has faced Suárez 17 times, called him an “an incredible hitter.” Reliever Luke Weaver, a former teammate of Suárez’s, has battled him 12 times and said “his swing is designed for just a beautiful, majestic pull homer.”

Oswald Peraza, 0-for-2 with a strikeout playing the first seven innings, is hitting .147 in 69 games with a 445 OPS. Jorbit Vivas, 0-for-1 pinch-hitting and then manning third for two innings, has a .164 average and .525 OPS in 28 games.
