Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star third baseman Eugenio Suárez hopes he avoided a major injury when he was hit on 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 struck by a 95.6 mph sinker from Will Vest in the ninth inning. Suárez 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.\"
