Eugenio Suarez fractures right thumb, headed to disabled list

Baseball is dumb.

Just when you think the 2018 Cincinnati Reds season couldn’t start off any worse, this happens:

One day after tying his career-high with five RBI and blasting a game-winning three-run home run at PNC Park, Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suárez took a pitch off his right hand in the fourth inning Sunday and suffered a fracture to his right thumb.

This just weeks after Suarez signed a 7-year, $66 million contract. It’s just awful.

Plenty of speculation about whether this means Nick Senzel is due to arrive in Cincinnati.
