Eugenio Suárez Undergoes Tests After Hit by Pitch in Tigers-Diamondbacks Game

News summary

Eugenio Suárez, an All-Star third baseman and leading trade target, was hit on the right index finger by a 96 mph pitch during the Arizona Diamondbacks' game against the Detroit Tigers, causing concern for his health ahead of the MLB trade deadline. X-rays on Suárez's finger came back negative for fractures, though further tests were scheduled to determine the full extent of his injury. Suárez, who is batting .247 with 36 home runs and 87 RBIs this season, is expected to be traded, with the Detroit Tigers among the teams showing strong interest in acquiring him. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch expressed hope for Suárez's quick recovery and acknowledged the slugger's value to multiple organizations, including his own former team. The Tigers recently won the series opener against the Diamondbacks 5-1 and have made roster moves to strengthen their team, including acquiring pitcher Chris Paddack. Suárez's potential trade could provide the Tigers with a significant boost as they aim to maintain their lead in the AL Central and build a competitive playoff roster.
