JOSÉ SUAREZ NEWS

Roughed up in season debut Suarez (0-1) was handed the loss after giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks as the Angels fell to the Mariners, 11-2, on Tuesday. He struck out four over t...

Impact The 25-year-old lefty was able to break camp as the Halos' No. 5 starter, but after a strong close to the 2022 campaign, he wasn't able to get off on the right foot in his 2023 season debut. He faced five batters and needed 31 pitches to record three outs in the opening frame, though he limited the damage to just one run, which came on a wild pitch. Suarez appeared to right the ship with a pair of 1-2-3 innings, but he unraveled in the fourth, surrendering three straight hits, including a Teoscar Hernandez home run. He served up another home run to Hernandez the following an inning before being pulled from the contest a batter later.

Expected to be No. 5 starter Suarez is lined up to start the Angels' fifth game of the season, which will take place April 4 in Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Suarez was essentially a lock for a starting role coming into spring training after posting a 3.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 22 games (20 starts last season). He has been fine in three Cactus League starts, allowing five runs (four earned) and posting a 6:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Suarez doesn't have the strikeout numbers or history of consistency to be an exciting option in fantasy, but he can give managers in deeper leagues decent ratios at a reasonable cost.

Jose Suarez can't stay perfect, but Angels win ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jose Suarez kept the Texas Rangers and the Angel Stadium crowd on their toes in his final start of the season.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Strong start in last outing Suarez (8-8) earned the win Saturday over the Rangers, allowing two runs on two hits and striking out six over seven innings.

Impact Suarez flirted with perfection in this one, throwing six clean innings before he was tagged for a two-run home run by Nathaniel Lowe in the seventh. That blast briefly put the Rangers ahead, but the Angels regained the lead to allow Suarez to be rewarded with the win, leveling his record in his last start of the year. The southpaw has had some solid moments over the second half of the campaign, giving up more than three runs just once in his last 11 outings. He'll finish the season with a 3.96 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 103:33 K:BB across 109 innings over 22 appearances (20 starts). The strong second-half performance should give Suarez an inside track to a rotation spot to begin 2023.

Earns seventh win Suarez (7-8) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six in 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Twins on Sunday.

Impact Although Suarez fell one out shy of picking up a quality start Sunday, he was rewarded with his seventh win of the year after settling for losses in his last two outings. The southpaw has lasted at least five innings in all 10 of his starts following the All-Star break, and he's posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 57 innings during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Rangers on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Coughs up five runs Suarez (6-8) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against Seattle.

Impact After giving up an RBI double to Ty France in the first inning, Suarez kept things under control until Carlos Santana smoked a grand slam in the fifth. The 24-year-old southpaw had allowed three or fewer runs in eight straight outings prior to Monday's hiccup. His season ERA jumped to 4.11 alongside a 91:32 K:BB through 20 appearances. Suarez is expected to start in Minnesota this weekend.

Done in by sixth inning Suarez (4-5) took the loss during Tuesday's 8-2 defeat at the hands of the Mariners, allowing three runs on four hits with five strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

Impact Suarez retired the first 16 batters he faced before surrendering four straight singles -- three of which came around to score -- before being removed. Including Tuesday's start, Suarez had gone 22 innings without permitting an earned run while he walked none as a starter for the first time this year Suarez possesses a 4.12 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 66 strikeouts in 67.2 and is scheduled to take the mound again next week in Tampa Bay.

Punches out eight in victory Suarez (4-4) allowed two hits and two walks over seven shutout innings Monday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Athletics.

Impact Suarez was dominant Monday, firing 67 of 97 pitches for strikes, including 14 whiffs. He didn't allow an extra-base hit and Oakland never put together any momentum against him. The 24-year-old southpaw lowered his ERA to 4.04 with a 61:27 K:BB through 62.1 frames. Since he was tagged with six runs against the Dodgers on July 16, Suarez has fired 17.1 consecutive scoreless innings. He'll look for a fourth straight win next week at home against the Mariners.

AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nabs win against A's Suarez (3-4) earned the win during Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Oakland, allowing one unearned run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Suarez was moved up to start Tuesday's game with the departure of Noah Syndergaard and filled in seamlessly, only letting one run in during his final frame as a result of a passed ball despite failing to record a 1-2-3 inning. The 24-year-old hasn't permitted an earned run over his last two sparts, spanning 10.1 innings, though both have come against inferior competition in Oakland and Kansas City. With a decent 4.55 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 53 strikeouts across 55.1 innings, Suarez has a shot to remain in Los Angeles' rotation.

AUGUST 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday Suarez will start Tuesday's game against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The left-hander last started July 26 against the Royals, and he'll take the mound again Tuesday after previously scheduled starter Noah Syndergaard was traded to the Phillies. Suarez has a 5.01 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB across 50.1 innings this season.

AUGUST 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back Tuesday Suarez (2-4) earned the win Tuesday over the Royals. He allowed three hits, a walk and hit a batter while striking out three over 5.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Suarez had allowed 12 runs over 12 innings in his first three starts in July, though he faced the Astros, Orioles and Dodgers in that stretch. A favorable start against the Royals allowed the southpaw to get back on track. He threw 53 of 78 pitches for strikes in arguably his sharpest outing of the year. For the season, Suarez owns a 5.01 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 48:23 K:BB in 50.1 innings across 12 appearances (10 starts). He's projected for a home start versus the Athletics next week.

JULY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three homers in loss Suarez (1-4) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Suarez hasn't completed five innings in any of his three July starts. He's allowed 12 runs in 12 innings this month. Saturday's outing was marred by the long ball, as Trea Turner took him deep twice and Max Muncy added a three-run blast. Suarez had a 4.36 ERA at the end of June, but it's now at 5.60 with a 1.58 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB across 45 innings in 11 appearances (nine starts) this year. The Angels are expected to resume a six-man rotation after the All-Star break, so he's not yet at immediate risk of losing his starting role despite the recent struggles.

JULY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up four runs Suarez (1-2) allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in 3.2 innings to take the loss during Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Suarez hadn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last five outings and held Baltimore scoreless over three innings Sunday, but he struggled against the surging Orioles in the bottom of the fourth inning and took his first loss since April 30. Over his last five appearances, the southpaw has posted a 3.80 ERA in 23.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Dodgers on Saturday.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Decent versus Houston Suarez didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 loss to Houston, allowing two runs on four hits and four strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Impact Suarez began Sunday's start with three perfect innings before allowing one run on three hits in the fourth and another two-out hit in the fifth that prompted his removal. The performance was a minor step back from his two prior excellent appearances, though he's still kept opposing offenses to no more than three runs in each of his four games since being recalled from the minors June 7. He's currently scheduled to pitch again next weekend against Baltimore.

JULY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Receives another start Suarez is scheduled to make his next start Sunday in Houston.

Impact He will unsurprisingly received another turn through the rotation after he impressed while working as a bulk reliever behind Andrew Wantz in last Sunday's win over the Mariners. Suarez notched his first win of the season in the six-inning outing, striking out eight while yielding one run on five hits and no walks. The left-hander is expected to be deployed as a traditional starter this time out, and he could have some staying power in the Angels' six-man rotation if he submits another solid performance.

JUNE 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dominant in six innings Suarez (1-2) picked up the win Sunday versus the Mariners. He allowed a run on five hits and struck out eight over six innings.

Impact Suarez pitched behind opener Andrew Wantz, who was ejected after he hit Jesse Winker with a pitch, which ignited a brawl between the teams. The lone run on Suarez's line was from an Abraham Toro solo home run in the sixth inning, but the Angels were able to pull ahead in the seventh while the southpaw was still in the game. Suarez had not completed more than five innings in a start at the major-league level prior to Sunday. He owns a 4.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB across 33 innings overall. The Angels' pitching plans are still in flux heading into next week, but Suarez's next start is expected to be a road date in Houston next weekend.

Recalled, should fill primary role The Angels recalled Suarez from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners. He's expected to serve as the Angels' primary pitcher out of the bullpen in the seri...

Impact Andrew Wantz is listed as the Halos' starting pitcher on the lineup card, but he hasn't worked more than 2.1 innings in any of his appearances this season and is expected to be deployed as an opener. Assuming that's the case, Suarez should be in line to fill a bulk-relief role, and the fact that he won't be starting could help his case for factoring into the decision. Over his previous seven outings (six starts) with the big club this season, Suarez has submitted a 5.00 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 26:17 K:BB across 27 innings.

Impact Suarez was optioned to Triple-A last Sunday, one day after he struck out seven over 4.1 scoreless frames while starting one half of a doubleheader with the Mariners. He'll get another crack against Seattle this weekend, this time taking on the club at home. With the Angels sending the struggling Reid Detmers back to Triple-A earlier this week, Suarez could be in line for a more permanent stay in the big-league rotation.

JUNE 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes back to Triple-A The Angels returned Suarez to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Impact Suarez's latest stint with the big club lasted just one day, as the Angels designated him as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Mariners. He started the second game of the twin bill and fared well in the Angels' 3-0 win, shutting out the Mariners over 4.1 innings while striking out seven and scattering four hits and three walks. Kenny Rosenberg was called up from Triple-A to make a start in Sunday's series finale in Seattle, and how he performs may dictate whether he or Suarez gets the nod the next time the Halos require a sixth starter in next weekend's home series with the Mariners.

Falls just shy of win Suarez didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 3-0 shutout of Seattle in Game 2 of a doubleheader, allowing four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in 4.1 scorele...

Impact Suarez was called up to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader and stranded the bases loaded in the first inning but progressed well until the fifth when he was pulled with one out and two on. The seven whiffs mark a season-high for the 24-year-old and he lowered his ERA to an even 5.00 with the successful outing, though it's unclear if he'll stick with the team.
