Eugenio Suarez's MRI, CT Scan on Hand Injury Negative Amid MLB Trade Rumors
One of the biggest names on the trade market has received some good news after suffering an injury on Monday.
Arizona Diamondbacks star third baseman Eugenio Suรกrez took a fastball to the hand during Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers and had X-rays done, per USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen noted that Suรกrez said his X-rays came back negative. Suรกrez underwent more testing on Tuesday, with both tests coming back negative, via MLB.com's Steve Gilbert:
Stavenhagen added that Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Suรกrez's hand and finger were tender to the touch, and he is being considered day-to-day.
Suรกrez was not in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.
As the deadline approaches, theย Chicago Cubs,ย New York Mets,ย Seattle Marinersย and others have been linked to Suรกrez. Theย Philadelphia Inquirer'sย Scott Lauberย reported Sunday that the Philadelphia Phillies have had "exploratory" conversations with the Diamondbacks about Suรกrez.
Arizona is 51-56 on the season and is 6.5 games back in the wild card race, making them prime candidates to sell at the deadline.ย Ken Rosenthalย of The Athletic reported last week that the Diamondbacks have informed teams that they are looking to move "at least some of their veterans."
Suรกrez is certainly one of the most enticing potential trade options on the D-Backs roster. The 34-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career, collecting the fourth-most home runs (36) and the most RBI (87) in the majors.
But because of Suรกrez's success, the Diamondbacks reportedly are asking for a big haul in return. Nightengaleย reportedย Sunday that Arizona and the New York Yankees "had extensive talks" about Suรกrez, but the Yankees felt his "price tag was too high."
The good news for the Diamondbacks and Suรกrez is that his X-rays came back negative, so as long as his tests don't reveal any further damage, he should still have plenty of trade interest.
