A wrench was seemingly thrown into the Arizona Diamondbacks' trade deadline plans for a brief moment during the club's 5–1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Monday night. All-Star Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez, regarded as the top bat available ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, was hit by a pitch on his right hand and forced to exit the game in the ninth inning.
Fortunately Suarez avoided the worst possible outcome, as the X-rays on his hand came back negative. But Suarez was not in Tuesday's lineup for the second game of the series against the Tigers.
