Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks suffered a finger injury during the All-Star game due to a pitch impact. The injury was confirmed as a contusion, with manager Torey Lovullo stating that Suarez should be ready to play soon. Suarez has had a standout season with considerable statistics, making him a player of interest for teams seeking upgrades. The approaching trade deadline has made his availability notable, with multiple teams interested in his abilities, including a significant tie to his past with the Detroit Tigers.
"Just a contusion," Lovullo confirmed when talking about Suarez's left pinky finger, which was struck by a 96 mph fastball from Chicago White Sox pitcher Shane Smith. "He said he's fine. Ready to play. Excited to be back in the lineup (July 18). Feels like we dodged a bullet."
Suarez is among the few players the Diamondbacks could offer on the trade block before the MLB Trade Deadline approaches. He has a monster year at third base with 31 homers, 78 RBIs, and an .889 OPS.
Teams like the Yankees, Mariners, Mets, and Braves could use a significant upgrade at third base. Other teams are looking into Suarez as a potential designated hitter.
"To finish where everything started, it would be cool," Suárez said Monday, July 14, just one day before participating in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. "It would mean a lot to me."
