Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman and leading trade-deadline target Eugenio Suárez exited Monday night's eventual 5-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers after he was struck on the hand by a 95.6 mph pitch, but X-rays on his left index finger came back negative. He will get more testing Tuesday, he told reporters.

The 34-year-old leads MLB in RBI with 87 and is arguably the best hitter rumored to be available at the July 31 trade deadline. The Diamondbacks, who fell to 51-56 after Monday’s loss, appear to be sellers and already traded first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners last week.

The MLB Trade Deadline is Thursday at 6 pm Eastern time. We’ve already seen a few trades over the weekend, and rumors are now beginning to swirl with more ferocity. However, while everybody is focusing on the big-name players who could change teams, like Eugenio Suarez or Joe Ryan, there’s value in focusing on the “little guy.”

Nick Fortes, a DeLand native, will swap Sunshine State teams as the Tampa Bay Rays have acquired him from the Miami Marlins.

We've reached the week of the MLB trade deadline, and the market continues to be strong for former Seattle Mariners 3B Eugenio Suárez.

In a recent article in which he evaluated fan's trade proposals, The Athletic’s Jim Bowden gave his seal of approval to a deal that would send both relievers to the Mariners for catching prospect Harry Ford and starting pitcher Logan Evans.
