Managing back spasms Manager Joe Girardi said following Wednesday's loss to the Marlins that Suarez was not available to pitch due to back spasms, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the back issues arose during pregame activities. It's not clear if the back spasms could potentially sideline Suarez past Wednesday, but the club figures to provide an update on the reliever prior to Thursday's series finale.

Charged with another loss Suarez (3-2) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in a third of an inning to take the loss against the Mets in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader.
Impact Suarez was brought on to begin the eighth inning of Friday's matinee, so he began his outing with a runner on second base. He issued an intentional walk to lead off the inning but gave up a walkoff single to the next batter he faced. The southpaw has now been charged with losses in two of his last four appearances, but he's still posted a 0.66 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 27.1 innings across 16 relief outings this year.

Takes loss Tuesday Suarez (2-1) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out a batter over 1.1 innings as he took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
Impact Suarez entered with two outs in the sixth and registered a quick strikeout to get out of the inning. He came back out to face the top of the Dodger lineup and surrendered a leadoff solo home run to Mookie Betts which broke a 3-3 tie. It was the first homer he's given up this season and the second straight outing in which he's given up a run after starting the year with 20.1 scoreless innings. He still owns an outstanding 0.79 ERA and 0.66 WHIP to go along with a 19:6 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Pitches three strong frames Suarez (2-0) earned the win in relief Wednesday against Atlanta after tossing three scoreless innings, fanning three.
Impact Suarez had a daunting task since he had to pitch following an impressive six-inning outing from Zach Eflin, but he looked dominant off the bullpen and secured his second win of the campaign. The left-hander has been stellar this season and has yet to give up a run in 11 appearances (20.1 innings).

Called up by Phillies Suarez was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Suarez didn't throw a pitch during spring training due to visa issues and a quadriceps injury. He's built up to full speed now and will fill the bullpen spot that had belonged to fellow southpaw Jojo Romero, who landed on the injured list with a sprained elbow in a corresponding move. With a career 4.66 ERA and 18.0 percent strikeout rate in 67.2 major-league innings, Suarez likely won't be handling high-leverage innings any time soon.

Optioned to minors Suarez (quadriceps) was optioned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Impact Suarez hasn't thrown a pitch in Grapefruit League action this spring, as he was delayed first by visa issues and then by a quadriceps injury. He could return to the active roster at some point this season, though his career 4.66 ERA in 67.2 innings at the highest level suggests he's best suited for a lower-leverage role.

Dealing with quadriceps issue Suarez tweaked his quadriceps over the week and will be sidelined for at least a week, Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Suarez was delayed by visa issues when he attempted to report to camp and has now faced further delays since his arrival. It's possible the missed time will take him out of consideration for an Opening Day bullpen spot.

Delayed by visa issues Suarez has yet to arrive at camp due to visa issues, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Suarez is one of five Phillies absent for that reason, as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic interferes with international travel. If the delay lasts too long it would mean the lefty won't have time to ramp up as a starter, though he was always a long shot at best to open the season in a big-league rotation spot. Suarez will stand a decent chance at winning a bullpen role but isn't a lock to do so.

Back at alternate site The Phillies optioned Suarez to their alternate training site Wednesday.
Impact Despite being designated as the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Suarez went unused in both contests. With no more twin bills on the Phillies' schedule the rest of the regular season, Suarez won't be eligible to rejoin the big club unless another player is placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Optioned to alternate camp Suarez was optioned to the Phillies' alternate training site Monday.
Impact Suarez struggled mightily in three outings since returning from the COVID-19 injured list, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and four walks while striking out one over four innings. The southpaw will attempt to improve at alternate camp, and it's unclear whether he'll return to the major-league bullpen with just two weeks remaining in the regular season.
