Kyle Karros, son of 1992 NL Rookie of the Year Eric Karros, hits RBI single in first MLB at-bat
PHOENIX (AP) — Colorado Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros is off to a good start in the National League — just like his dad. The 23-year-old Karros — the son of 1992 National League Rookie of the Year Eric Karros — hit an RBI single in his first big-league plate appearance Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The younger Karros has been a fast mover through the Rockies' minor-league system after being selected in the fifth round of the 2023 draft out of UCLA. He was batting .301 with six homers this season in the minors. The elder Karros hit 284 homers over a 14-year career, mostly with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 57-year-old also played in college at UCLA, where he was teammates with current Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo. ___ AP MLB:

Don't blame Torey Lovullo for Eugenio Suarez getting hit by a pitch
Slugger Eugenio Suarez was hit in the hand by a pitch in the ninth inning on July 28 in yet another loss for a Diamondbacks team that's playing with a pocketful of white flags. Critics are going to question Torey Lovullo by asking why Suarez was in a meaningless game when he was clearly the best bait Mike Hazen has in his tackle box to search for a big fish who can rejuvenate this franchise for the long haul. They'll remind everyone that Suarez was hit on the hand in the All-Star Game about a month ago and that people were calling for him to be shelved to preserve his trade value even then. But Lovullo was right to have Suarez in the lineup in Detroit. The front office may have quit on the season, but that doesn't mean Louvllo or anyone in that clubhouse has to go along with management's plans. It's each of their jobs to show Hazen and everyone else that they can still rally for a deep playoff run that validates what they did in 2023. By the way, that 'everyone else' includes me. I'd start trading, guys, too, if I were Hazen. The Diamondbacks' 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers on July 28 was the fourth game in a row in which they failed to score more than once. It was their sixth loss in seven games. It seems like everyone quit once Josh Naylor was traded to Seattle. Or maybe they quit after getting swept by Houston. Same, same. The losses have looked awful. The third base coach is stopping guys when he should be sending them. He's sending them when he should be stopping them. And at one point, he tried to send a guy and stop him on the same play. (It was a true absurdity: Poor Shaun Larkin was twirling one arm in the universal signal for 'haul you-know-what' and the other arm was extended and flexed, palm open in the universal signal for 'STOP!') Guys are crashing into each other in the outfield. And batters are spiraling on swinging strikeouts like nine Tasmanian devils in the same batter's box. Some of this might be Torey Lovullo's fault. (Though, it really seems like that should be on the players to hold themselves to a higher standard.) But Lovullo was not wrong to have Suarez in the lineup while the team has a mathematical chance to reach the postseason. Still, it sure looked like it was bad on TV. Sounded bad, too. And Suarez didn't act like it was no big deal. We'll see what the doctors say after they examine his hand and fingers. But even with risk, Torey Lovullo was right to have Suarez in the lineup if he was available to play. Reach Moore at gmoore@ or 602-444-2236. Follow him on X, formerly Twitter, @SayingMoore.

Eugenio Suárez says X-rays were negative after he was hit on index finger by pitch against Tigers
Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez hopes he avoided major injury when he was hit in the right index finger by a pitch late in Monday night's 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers. Suárez, who is a candidate to be traded to a contender, was hit by a 95.6 mph sinker from Will Vest in the ninth inning. He immediately doubled over in pain and quickly left the field. 'The good news is that the X-rays were negative, but it still obviously hurt,' said Suárez, who was not bending the finger. 'There are more tests scheduled for (Tuesday) and we will go from there. I'll come back as quickly as I can.' The 34-year-old is hitting .247 with 36 homers and 87 RBIs in 104 games this season–the seventh time he has hit at least 30 homers in the last eight full seasons. 'He's very tough and he never even winces,' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. 'When he reacts like that, you know it isn't good.' Lovullo said he didn't blame Vest. 'I don't think there was any intent there,' Lovullo said. 'He's one of the most impressive hitters in MLB, and you don't want to take those type of players off the field.' The Diamondbacks are 51-56 and have already signaled they will be sellers at the deadline. One of the teams believed to be interested in Suárez is the Tigers. The Venezuelan was signed by Detroit at age 17 and made his debut for the club in 2014 before being traded to Cincinnati after that season.
