The Cincinnati Reds have become buyers at the MLB trade deadline, but their dream target may be headed for the injured list. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman was hit-by-pitch during Monday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Reliever Will Vest came up and in on Suárez with a 96 mph fastball that struck the D-backs infielder on the hand. Suárez exited the game with the training staff.
The timing couldn't be worse for the D-backs who've been shopping Suárez ahead of Thursday's deadline. The two-time All-Star is one of the hottest names available, but a trip to the IL could end any and all pursuit of Arizona's top slugger.
