RANGER SUÁREZ NEWS

Throws bullpen session Suarez (forearm) threw a bullpen session Friday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez missed the Opening Day roster due to forearm inflammation, but he's trending in the right direction. He's thrown a pair of bullpen sessions and is scheduled for another one Monday.

Moved to 15-day IL Suarez (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Impact Suarez fell behind the other Phillies starters when he came down with forearm tightness in early March. Imaging tests have ruled out any structural damage and the hope is that he can hop into the rotation for the reigning NL champs sometime before the end of April. But he had yet to resume throwing off a mound at last check.

Feeling better but not throwing Suarez (forearm) is feeling better but doesn't know yet when he'll throw his next bullpen session, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Suarez has dealt with forearm tightness this spring, and while an MRI revealed no structural damage, he's run out of time to get ready for Opening Day. Matt Strahm appears to be in line to take his spot in the rotation for now. Suarez's timeline won't become clear until he resumes throwing, but it's certainly a positive that he isn't in pain.

Won't be ready for Opening Day Suarez is unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season after experiencing a setback with his left forearm, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Suarez was sent in for an MRI on Tuesday, and while the scan revealed no structural damage, he's still battling some inflammation. The left-hander will be shut down for a few days with the hope the swelling recedes and he's able to quickly resume a throwing program. The setback doesn't sound like a long-term concern for Suarez, but the Phillies will need a replacement in the rotation for the southpaw, and fellow lefty Matt Strahm appears to be the next man up for the assignment.

On track for Opening Day rotation Suarez (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Sunday and is expected to start during the opening week of the regular season, though he will have workload limitations, Todd Zo...

Impact The workload limitations are no surprise given manager Rob Thomson already admitted Suarez won't be fully stretched out by Opening Day, but it appears he won't be too far off from a full workload. Suarez appears fully past the bout of forearm tightness he experienced earlier in March, and he should be able to get into a game or two during the final stretch of spring training.

Will throw bullpen session Sunday Suarez (forearm) threw a light bullpen session Friday and is set to throw a full bullpen session Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Suarez has been dealing with left forearm tightness for a week or so but has made some nice progress. While the Phillies have acknowledged he will not be fully stretched out for the start of the regular season, they still plan to carry Suarez on their Opening Day roster and build up his stamina on the fly.

Won't be fully built up Phillies manager Rob Thomson acknowledged Thursday that Suarez (forearm) won't be fully built up for the start of the regular season, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Phillies still intend to carry him in their rotation and will stretch him out on the fly. Suarez fell behind earlier this month when he experienced a bit of tightness in his left forearm as he prepared to represent Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. He's been throwing on the side without issue since he arrived back at camp, but fantasy managers should expect some abbreviated outings early on.

Throws on flat ground Tuesday Suarez (forearm) did some light tossing on flat ground Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The left-hander had to be pulled out of the World Baseball Classic due to some minor tightness in his left forearm, but that he's throwing again after a couple days of treatment seems like a good sign. It's not clear when Suarez might be ready to pitch in a Grapefruit League game, but the Phillies are hoping he'll be ready to go on Opening Day.

Nursing forearm tightness Suarez was brought back from the World Baseball Classic due to left forearm tightness, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Phillies believe the injury to be minor, but they will push Suarez back a few days as he receives treatment. While Suarez's performance took a step backward on the field last season, he still managed a 3.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 155.1 innings. The southpaw will shoulder a similar workload in the rotation this season, health permitting.

Gets $2.95 million from Phillies Suarez signed a one-year, $2.95 million contract with the Phillies on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Suarez had a disappointing first half for Philly in 2022, but he was very good after the All-Star break and fantastic during the club's postseason run. For fantasy purposes, the left-hander would do well to regain some of the swing-and-miss he produced in 2021.

Secures win in Game 3 Suarez pitched five scoreless innings and earned the win during Tuesday's 7-0 victory over the Astros in Game 3 of the World Series, allowing three hits and one walk while striking...

Impact Suarez made his second appearance of the World Series after coming in for relief during Game 1, and he notched his second postseason win on the mound. The southpaw rarely found himself in trouble against the feisty Houston lineup -- the Astros had runners on first and third with two outs in the second inning but he was able to strike out Chas McCormick to end the inning. The 27-year-old is now 2-0 with a solid 1.27 ERA across 14.2 innings during the playoffs, showing off his reliability and versatility in his first career postseason. Suarez threw 76 pitches, so it is unclear if he will take the mound again before the World Series is over.
