Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman and leading trade-deadline target Eugenio Suárez exited Monday night's eventual 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers after he was struck on the hand by a 95.6 mph pitch, but X-rays on his left index finger came back negative. He will get more testing Tuesday, he told reporters.
The Rookie-level ACL Angels were crowned champions of the Arizona Complex League after powering up to sweep the ACL Giants with a 14-9 victory in Game 2 of the best-of-3 Finals on Monday night. It was the first title in the Rookie-level Angels affiliate's history.
The Arizona Diamondbacks begin a three-game road series against the Detroit Tigers on July 28. They are being shut out for the third straight game.
Suarez, 34, is widely considered to be the top hitter available ahead of the July 31 trade deadline. Through just 104 games this season, Suarez has already clubbed 36 home runs and an MLB-leading 87 RBIs ( including an incredible four-homer game in April ).
Arizona has been recruiting at a high-level under head coach Chip Hale and now the MLB is starting to take notice.
