Suarez exits early after HBP; Reds await CT scan on third baseman
Cincinnati’s lineup faces uncertainty after Eugenio Suarez departs with an inconclusive left-hand X-ray following a brutal 9-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Eugenio Suarez’s day ended in the third inning of the Reds’ 9-4 loss to the Pirates after a 95-mph fastball drilled his left hand. Initial X-rays at PNC Park showed no clear fracture, but the team ordered a Monday CT scan to rule out hairline cracks or ligament damage. The scan results could determine whether Suarez misses extended time, leaving Cincinnati’s infield scrambling for a replacement.
