Suarez (7-3) allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 6.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Padres.
Suarez wasn't at his best Friday, but the damage was limited to the second inning. This was the first time since June 7 against the Pirates that Suarez has allowed multiple runs, though it was his sixth straight start allowing one earned run or less. For the season, he's pitched to a 1.94 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB across 83.2 innings through 13 starts. Suarez figures to make his next start during the Phillies' first series after the All-Star break, which would line him up for a home matchup against the Angels.

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: Extends scoreless streak in win
Rotowire
Suarez (4-0) picked up the win in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Atlanta, allowing four hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
The eight Ks were a season high for the southpaw as he reeled off his fourth straight win and fourth straight quality start, while extending his scoreless streak to 13.2 innings. Suarez got a late start to the campaign due to back trouble and had a rough 2025 debut against Arizona on May 4, but since then he's been impressive, producing a 1.01 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 26.2 innings during his win streak. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Brewers.

Rotowire

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Tosses 78 pitches in rehab outing
Rotowire
Suarez (back) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight in 4.2 innings during his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
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.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Targeting 55 pitches in rehab start
Rotowire
Suarez (back) is expected to throw around four innings or 55 pitches in his next minor-league rehab start Tuesday with Single-A Clearwater, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tuesday will mark the second appearance in the minors for Suarez, who completed three scoreless innings in Thursday's rehab start with High-A Clearwater. It's unclear how much time Suarez will spend on his assignment, but fantasy managers can expect the left-hander to return from back stiffness sometime before the end of April at this point. In Suarez's stead, Taijuan Walker has thrown 10.2 scoreless innings over two starts so far this season.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: May face live hitters this weekend
Rotowire
Suarez (back) could face live hitters in his next scheduled throwing session before the end of the week, MLB.com reports.
Suarez continues to progress in his recovery from lower-back stiffness, and he'll likely need to go on at least a brief minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Philadelphia's roster. That could be the next step in his throwing progression, barring any setbacks in this weekend's slated session, and the left-hander remains on track to return to the major leagues before the end of April. Taijuan Walker is occupying a spot in the Phillies' rotation in Suarez's stead, and he threw six scoreless innings with four strikeouts while earning the win in Thursday's start against the Rockies.
