Eugenio Suarez will undergo a CT scan on Monday after X-rays on his left hand proved inconclusive following a hit-by-pitch in the Cincinnati Reds' 9-4 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday, ESPN reported. Suarez was struck by a 92.4 mph fastball from Mitch Keller with two outs in the sixth inning. He was checked by manager Terry Francona before walking slowly to first base.
Nathaniel Lowe replaced him for his next at-bat in the eighth inning. "It swelled up really rapidly," Francona said. "The trainers' hope was that maybe it hit a blood vessel. " Suarez said the swelling prevented the X-ray from showing anything.
"Right now, obviously, I feel a lot better than when I got hit," he said. 208 with eight home runs and 29 RBIs in his 13th major league season. He was named an All-Star for the second time last season.
Suarez traveled with the team to Milwaukee for a four-game series against the Brewers.
