Suarez picked up the save Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning.
Though he did allow the potential tying run to get to the plate, Suarez quickly shut down any possible Washington rally while throwing seven of his eight pitches for strikes. The hard-throwing right-hander looks to be assuming closing duties in Raisel Iglesias' (shoulder) stead and now has major fantasy upside, though likely temporary, given that he was one of the top closers in baseball for the Padres in 2024 and 2025. Through 11 outings this season, Suarez has a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB through 10.2 innings while converting each of his two save chances.
