Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Logs quality start in victory
Rotowire
Suarez (3-6) earned the win over St. Louis on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and four walks while striking out five batters over six innings.
Suarez had shaky control in the outing, throwing just 63 of 106 pitches for strikes and tying a season high with four walks. However, he was able to mostly navigate around trouble, leaving the bases loaded in the third inning before retiring 10 of the final 12 batters he faced. This was Suarez's first win in three starts since returning from a hamstring injury Sept. 1, and he's posted a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings during that stretch.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Will be activated to start Sunday
Rotowire
The Phillies will activate Suarez (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Barring any unexpected setbacks with his hamstring heading into the weekend, Suarez will return from the IL just a few days past the minimum 15 days. Suarez won't head out on a minor-league rehab start prior to being activated, but he threw live batting practice Monday and should be stretched out enough to handle something close to a typical starter's workload in what will be his first outing with the Phillies since Aug. 13.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain.
Suarez had already been ruled out for his scheduled start Sunday, but he'll now be forced to miss multiple turns through the rotation. The team initially said it believed Suarez's injury to be relatively minor, so there is a good chance that Suarez spends the minimum amount of time on the IL, but a clearer picture for a return timeline will come as Suarez recovers. Andrew Bellatti was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Suarez won't make his scheduled start Sunday against Washington due to soreness in his hamstring, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Sharp in losing effort
Rotowire
Suarez (2-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over 6.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out eight.
Suarez has allowed just five runs over his last three starts (16.1 innings) though he's still yet to earn a win since June 27, as the Phillies offense couldn't provide any run support in a 3-0 loss. The 27-year-old Suarez now sports a 3.88 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 89:35 K:BB across 17 starts (97.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend in Washington.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Falls short of quality start
Rotowire
Suarez came away with a no-decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
The southpaw hit the wall in the sixth inning, giving up three straight singles to load the bases with two outs. Jeff Hoffman bailed Suarez out by getting CJ Abrams to pop out -- although Hoffman then cost Suarez a shot at his third win of the season, and first since June 27, by giving up the lead in the seventh. Despite falling one out shy of his ninth quality start of the year, Suarez has posted a shaky 4.95 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 31:17 K:BB through 40 innings since his last victory, making him a risky fantasy option for his next outing, which is likely to come on the road early next week in Toronto.

Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Allows one run in no-decision
Rotowire
Suarez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing a run on 10 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against Miami. He struck out three.
Suarez managed to hold the Marlins to just one run despite allowing 10 hits, thanks to a pair of key double-play balls. Overall, it was a solid start to the month for the 27-year-old southpaw after pitching to a 6.11 ERA over five starts in July. Suarez is 2-5 this season with a 4.01 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 76:30 K:BB across 15 starts (41.2 innings). He's currently scheduled to face the Nationals at home in his next outing, though it's worth noting the addition of Michael Lorenzen at the trade deadline gives the Phillies a crowded rotation.
