Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Strong form in no-decision
Rotowire
Suarez allowed one run on five hits with six strikeouts and two walks over five innings Saturday against the Reds. He didn't factor in the decision.
Suarez was unable to cover seven-plus frames for a sixth consecutive start, but he limited Cincinnati to a Will Benson solo homer before being pulled at 80 pitches. Manager Rob Thomsen said the left-hander was on a pitch count of 85 pitches due to his recent heavy workload, per the Associated Press. Suarez surrendered seven runs during his first start of the campaign but has given up just 10 earned runs in his past 11 outings. A matchup with the Padres likely awaits next weekend for his final appearance before the All-Star break.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Tosses 78 pitches in rehab outing
Rotowire

The left-hander threw 78 pitches in the rehab start, his fourth since beginning his minor-league assignment April 10. Suarez looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues, but the uncertain status of Cristopher Sanchez (forearm) -- who is considered day-to-day -- creates some uncertainty about when Suarez might be called upon to pitch for the Phillies.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Sharp in second rehab start
Rotowire
Suarez (back) allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven in four innings during his second minor-league rehab start Wednesday for Single-A Clearwater, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Suarez was sharp, tossing 39 of his 54 pitches for strikes. It's unclear how many more rehab appearances the left-hander will need during his recovery from back stiffness, but the Phillies would figure to want him to be stretched out further than the 50-pitch range. Suarez will likely make at least one more start in the minors before Philadelphia considers activating him from the injured list, but he's still on track to rejoin the rotation before the end of April.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Excels in first rehab start
Rotowire
Suarez (back) struck out four while giving up one hit and no walks over three innings in his first rehab start Thursday with Single-A Clearwater.
Suarez's first competitive appearance since his March 9 Grapefruit League start against the Orioles went about as well as the Phillies could have hoped; he fired 24 of his 33 pitches for strikes and faced the minimum over three innings while not allowing a ball to leave the infield. He's expected to stick around with Clearwater for his next rehab start Tuesday and will be targeting around four innings and 55 pitches, per Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Suarez will most likely need at least one more rehab appearance after Tuesday before being deemed ready to return from the 15-day injured list.
