Seven scoreless innings in win Suarez did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.

Impact Suarez tossed his first scoreless outing of the campaign and notched his fourth straight quality start. During that stretch, the left-hander has allowed just four runs over 26.2 innings and has a 22:7 K:BB. He's clearly found a groove recently after looking shaky across his first three outings, and he appears to have completely put the elbow issue that cost him the start of the campaign behind him. Suarez will look to stay sharp during his start, which is tentatively scheduled as part of an upcoming three-game set versus Atlanta.

Season-high eight strikeouts Suarez did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings in a 5-4 victory over the Dodgers. He struck out eight.

Impact Suarez struck out a season-high eight and notched his third straight quality start. During that stretch, he's allowed just four runs over 19.2 innings and has a 15:5 K:BB. The left-hander began the campaign on the injured list with an elbow issue and was shaky across his first three outings, but he appears to have found a groove and will look to stay sharp during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled during a four-game set in Arizona.

Allows one run in seven innings Suarez (1-2) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on eight hits and one walk over seven innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

Impact Suarez finished a season-high seven innings and allowed a season-low one run. It was the best start of the year for the left-hander, who began the campaign on the injured list with an elbow issue. Over his past two starts, Suarez has given up just three runs across 13.2 innings, but he's posted a modest 7:3 K:BB during that stretch. Either way, he's finding his groove after a slow start and will look to stay strong during his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled during a three-game weekend set versus the Dodgers.

Gets little help in loss Suarez (0-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Phillies were downed 2-0 by the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact The lefty delivered his best performance since coming off the IL in mid-May, but the Phillies offense couldn't get anything going against Kodai Senga. The quality start was Suarez's first in four outings, and while it shaved over two runs off his ERA, he'll still take a 7.13 mark into his next trip to the mound, likely to come this weekend on the road against the Nationals.

Struggles again Wednesday Suarez did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and a walk over 5 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

Impact Suarez did retire the final seven batters faced, providing some positive momentum heading into his next outing. Still, it's been a rough start to the year for the 27-year-old lefty, as he's pitched to a 9.82 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB through his first three games (11 innings). Suarez will look to get on track in his next outing, currently lined for next week on the road against the Mets.

Stumbles against Cubs Suarez (0-1) took the loss in Friday's 10-1 rout at the hands of the Cubs, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over two innings. He struck out four.

Impact Little went right for the Phillies in this one, and Suarez got the hook after needing 66 pitches (39 strikes) to record only six outs. The southpaw has been ineffective to say the least in two starts since coming off the IL, surrendering seven runs in six innings, but the team's lack of alternatives for the rotation should give him plenty of chances to find his prior form. Suarez's next start will likely come at home next week against Arizona.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes four innings in debut Suarez allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Saturday.

Impact Suarez missed six weeks with a left elbow strain, and he was limited to 72 pitches (44 strikes) in his season debut. He left with the Phillies up by a run, but the short start meant that Suarez was not eligible for the win. The southpaw was solid in 2022 with a 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 129:58 K:BB across 155.1 innings over 29 starts. He may need another outing or two to get his pitch count up, but he should be a fixture in the Phillies' rotation if he stays healthy. Suarez is projected for a home start versus the Cubs next week.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially activated Suarez (ebow) was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday in Coors Field.

Impact It's not an ideal venue for Suarez's first start of 2023, but at least he's back and healthy. The 27-year-old southpaw logged a 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and five strikeouts in nine innings across three rehab appearances. He built up to five innings in his final rehab outing, so he could go deep enough to qualify for the win in Colorado.

Starting Saturday vs. Rockies Suarez (elbow) will start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez will make his return from the injured list over the weekend after missing the first month-plus of the campaign due to a left elbow strain. It's a tough landing spot because of the location, but Suarez has shown the ability to miss bats and the Colorado lineup certainly is beatable. With Suarez returning to the mound Saturday, Taijuan Walker will now get the ball Friday against the Rockies.

To join rotation this weekend Suarez (elbow) is set to make his season debut this weekend at Coors Field, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Suarez threw only 48 pitches in his third and final rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but he managed to cover five innings of one-run ball while showing promising efficiency. He's expected to be limited to around 75 pitches in his return to the Phillies' rotation and is probably more of a wait-and-see option in fantasy given the location of that first matchup. He would probably line up to pitch at San Francisco in his second outing of the year for the reigning NL champs.

MAY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Works five innings in rehab start Suarez (elbow) permitted one earned run on four hits and no walks while striking out three across five innings Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Impact The start was the third overall of Suarez's rehab assignment, and his second straight with the Phillies' top affiliate. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the Phillies were targeting Suarez for 65 pitches Sunday, but he ended with just 48 (35 strikes). The light workload was likely a result of Suarez mowing down the opposing Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hitters with remarkable efficiency, and it's possible that he may have completed a short bullpen session following his departure from the game to build up his pitch count. Barring any setbacks with his left elbow, Suarez is still expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to make his 2023 debut with the Phillies next weekend against the Rockies, though he won't make for a recommended option in fantasy lineups with that start set to come at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another rehab start Sunday Suarez (forearm) will make his third rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact He'll get his pitch count up to 70-75 in what could be his final rehab start before rejoining the Phillies' rotation. If Suarez is indeed back with the Phils next week, his season debut for them would be lined up for next weekend in Colorado. The left-hander is working his way back from a forearm strain.

Rehab start shortened by rain Suarez (forearm) didn't allow a run over two innings of no-hit baseball with a strikeout and a walk for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer...

Impact Suarez was scheduled to go deeper in this game, but because of inclement weather the left-hander was able to throw only 29 pitches in the game. He was able to throw in the bullpen, however, and finished at 54 pitches. Phillies manager Rob Thomson announced that Suarez will make at least one more rehab start before joining the Phillies with two more likely, and then he should rejoin the Phillies' rotation in the middle of May.

Goes two scoreless in rehab start Suarez (forearm) tossed two scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Double-A Reading on Thursday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez allowed one hit and one walk while also striking out one, throwing 17 of 27 pitches for strikes along the way. The left-hander will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley next week. It appears the build-up for Suarez will be pretty deliberate, so he should need multiple more outings after next week's start before returning.

APRIL 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning rehab assignment Thursday Suarez (forearm) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Thursday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Suarez, who has been on the 15-day injured list all season with the left forearm injury, is expected to be limited to two innings in his first start at any level in 2023. The Phillies are planning for Suarez to get stretched out over the course of 3-to-4 rehab starts in the minors before he's deemed ready to reclaim a spot in the big-league rotation.

APRIL 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Needs several rehab outings Suarez (forearm) is expected to require three or four rehab outings before returning from the injured list, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez has been dealing with a forearm issue since early in camp. He advanced to a simulated game Saturday but is still several steps from his season debut. That means Matt Strahm should still get the chance to make another handful of starts before Suarez returns.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sim game coming Saturday Suarez (forearm) is scheduled to throw 35-to-40 pitches in a simulated game Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez checked out fine after facing a slew of hitters in live batting practice Tuesday, so he'll repeat the activity again this weekend while slightly bumping up his pitch count. The Phillies haven't mapped out the next steps for Suarez heading into next week, but he'll presumably need to make at least one minor-league rehab start to get fully stretched out before he's cleared to return from the 15-day injured list.

Phillies' Harper faces lefty for first time in latest rehab

Philadelphia All-Star slugger Bryce Harper faced a left-hander in a brief batting practice session in his latest step in his recovery from Tommy John surgery

Throwing live batting practice Suarez (forearm) is set to throw live batting practice Tuesday in Chicago, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Suarez is currently traveling with the Phillies and is expected to do two live BP sessions (or simulated games) before hopefully then embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. The 27-year-old left-hander is probably steering toward a 2023 debut in early May as he builds up his pitch count. He's been on the IL all month after developing forearm inflammation around the third week of spring training.

Suarez On The Way Back To Phillies A second bullpen session Friday could mean Ranger Suarez is on the return.

APRIL 14, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Nearing live BP session Suarez (forearm) is on track to throw live batting practice early next week, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Suarez tossed 35 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday, using his entire arsenal, and he'll extend himself a bit more in another full-arsenal bullpen session Friday. Then comes live BP, and a minor-league rehab assignment could soon follow. The 27-year-old appears on track to join the Phillies' starting rotation just before the end of April as he works past a bout of left forearm inflammation.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throws another bullpen session Suarez (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Suarez used all of his pitches during the workout and apparently looked sharp while doing so. There is supposed to be a decision Wednesday about the next step for his recovery, which could very well be a minor-league rehab assignment. The 27-year-old has missed the first couple weeks of the 2023 regular season due to left forearm inflammation but might make it back to the Phillies before the end of April.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing another bullpen Wednesday Suarez (elbow) will throw another bullpen session Wednesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Suarez threw a bullpen session over the weekend, and Phillies manager Rich Thomson said the team was "encouraged" by how the left-hander worked. If the bullpen session goes well Wednesday, he could begin a rehab assignment. Because he's missed close to a month, it's very likely Suarez would need two starts in the minors before he's ready to join the Philadelphia rotation.
