X-Rays Come Back Negative On Ranger Suarez's Hand
6 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hand) underwent x-rays on Saturday, which came back negative. According to Phillies manager Rob Thompson, there is swelling, and they will see how he feels in a few days. Suarez is considered day-to-day. The 28-year-old was removed from Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals after being struck in the left hand by a comebacker. It appears Suarez avoided a severe injury. The southpaw has been lights out this season, posting a 1.70 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts over 74 innings. Suarez is tentatively scheduled to start against the New York Mets on Saturday.
