Diamondbacks star Eugenio Suarez drilled by pitch, exits game vs. Tigers
As MLB Trade Deadline Week heats up, one of the top targets on the market has received a scare.
In the top of the ninth inning of a 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit on Monday, July 28, Arizona Diamondback third baseman Eugenio Suárez took a 96 mph fastball to his left hand from Tigers right-hander Will Vest.
Suárez, who is hitting .248 on the season with 36 home runs and 87 RBIs, was immediately tended to by a member of the Diamondbacks training staff before exiting the game in what appeared to be significant pain. He briefly fell down on his knees after the hit by the pitch while holding his hand.

USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale confirmed that Suárez underwent X-rays, which came back negative. Diamondback manager Torey Lovullo told reporters that Suárez's left hand and finger were "tender to the touch," according to The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen. Lovullo added that Suárez is day-to-day for now.
The Diamondbacks TV broadcast mentioned that they were able to hear the sound of Suárez getting drilled in the hand from the broadcast booth in Detroit.
Monday night's event in Detroit is the second time in a matter of weeks that Suárez has taken a pitch to his left hand. He exited the All-Star Game on July 15 in the eighth inning after being hit by Chicago White Sox right-hander Shane Smith, for which X-rays came back negative.
Suárez has been one of the hottest names being shopped around by the Diamondbacks, who began their sell on July 24 by trading away Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners. USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale most recently reported on July 25 that the Mariners and New York Yankees have had talks with the Diamondbacks about their All-Star third baseman, with several other teams being linked to Suárez in other reports.
The MLB Trade Deadline closes at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31.

Angels hitters struggle against Aaron Civale and White Sox in shutout loss
Aaron Civale pitched one-hit ball into the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Angels 1-0 on Saturday night to surpass their win total from last season. Chicago improved to 42-69 with its 10th win in 14 games since the All-Star break. It finished with a 41-121 record in 2024, breaking the modern major league record for most losses in a season. The White Sox scored their only run on Kyle Teel's RBI single in the second against Kyle Hendricks (6-8). Teel drove in Luis Robert Jr., who reached on a leadoff single. Civale (3-6) struck out eight in 6⅓ innings. He is 2-0 in his last three starts, allowing an unearned run and seven hits in 17⅓ innings. The Angels (53-58) got their only hit when Zach Neto beat out a slow roller down the third base line leading off the fourth. It was the team's third consecutive loss. Brandon Eisert retired each of his five batters, and Jordan Leasure finished the one-hitter for his third save in seven opportunities. Brooks Baldwin had two of Chicago's six hits. The White Sox (42-69) played without infielder Miguel Vargas, who was scratched because of a left oblique strain. Angels star Mike Trout missed a second straight game because of illness. Key moment: Nolan Schanuel walked after Neto's hit. But Civale retired the next three batters. Key stat: Chicago began the day with 27 home runs and 90 runs scored since the All-Star break — tops in the majors. Up next: Right-hander Sean Burke (4-8, 4.17 ERA) starts on Sunday for the White Sox, and right-hander Jack Kochanowicz (3-9, 5.75 ERA) goes for the Angels.

Game #113: Athletics vs. Diamondbacks Game Thread
The A's will go for their second straight win tonight when they welcome the Diamondbacks back for their second game of this three game set. On the bump tonight will be right-handed JT Ginn, who will be making his third start since rejoining the rotation. His first two went spectacularly as he tossed five innings of one run ball and then six shutout frames last time out. The club would love more of the same tonight against a Dbacks teams in free fall. The starting lineup tonight: The Diamondbacks starter tonight will be Zac Gallen. The right-hander has a strong track record but his 2025 season hasn't gone according to plan. Through 22 starts the veteran has a below-average 5.60 ERA, so the A's lineup should be able to muster some damage against Gallen. Arizona's lineup for the middle contest tonight shapes up like this: Let's go A's!
