When a player is absent from a starting lineup with the trade deadline looming, the assumption by fans is that the player is about to be on the move. That latter part may be true for the Arizona Diamondbacks' Eugenio Suarez, but that's not why he's out of the lineup on Tuesday night in Detroit.

The Dbacks, who lost their third baseman to an injury Monday and might trade him before Thursday's deadline, scratched the star from their lineup.

Third baseman Eugenio Suarez is in his second season with the Arizona Diamondbacks after making his big-league debut in 2014. The 33-year-old right-handed power bat established himself as an offensive threat during his seven-year tenure with the Cincinnati Reds, where he made his first All-Star team in 2018 and smashed 189 home runs in 916 games.
