Overview
- Eugenio Suárez was hit on the left hand by a 92.4 mph pitch from Mitch Keller on Sunday and left Cincinnati’s game after rapid swelling and visible tenderness.
- X-rays taken after the game were inconclusive because of the swelling, so the club scheduled a CT scan in Milwaukee to determine whether a fracture is present.
- Local media, citing NBC Sports, reported the CT scan later came back clean but those reports do not include an official Reds timeline and the team has indicated Suárez may sit out for a few days.
- Elly De La Cruz appeared to twist his left ankle on a swing in the fifth inning, was taped and allowed to finish the game, and the Reds confirmed he was set to play the next night.
- Both injuries complicate Cincinnati’s plans for the four-game road series in Milwaukee given Suárez’s recent oblique stint and De La Cruz’s recent activation from the injured list, so expect short-term lineup and roster adjustments.
