Suarez (8-8) earned the win Saturday over the Rangers, allowing two runs on two hits and striking out six over seven innings.
Suarez flirted with perfection in this one, throwing six clean innings before he was tagged for a two-run home run by Nathaniel Lowe in the seventh. That blast briefly put the Rangers ahead, but the Angels regained the lead to allow Suarez to be rewarded with the win, leveling his record in his last start of the year. The southpaw has had some solid moments over the second half of the campaign, giving up more than three runs just once in his last 11 outings. He'll finish the season with a 3.96 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 103:33 K:BB across 109 innings over 22 appearances (20 starts). The strong second-half performance should give Suarez an inside track to a rotation spot to begin 2023.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Removed in sixth
Rotowire
Suarez (6-7) took the loss Tuesday in Cleveland, allowing three runs on nine hits while striking out three in 5.1 innings.
Suarez scattered three singles over the first four innings while holding the Guardians scoreless. Cleveland got on the board in the fifth with a sacrifice fly and Oscar Gonzalez launched a two-run homer in the sixth.

Tuesday's outing was fairly representative of the 24-year-old's season as he's compiled a 3.20 ERA in the first four innings of outings and a 6.00 ERA in the fifth inning or later. His next start will likely be early next week in Texas.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Nabs win against A's
Rotowire
Suarez (3-4) earned the win during Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Oakland, allowing one unearned run on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
Suarez was moved up to start Tuesday's game with the departure of Noah Syndergaard and filled in seamlessly, only letting one run in during his final frame as a result of a passed ball despite failing to record a 1-2-3 inning. The 24-year-old hasn't permitted an earned run over his last two sparts, spanning 10.1 innings, though both have come against inferior competition in Oakland and Kansas City. With a decent 4.55 ERA and 1.48 WHIP with 53 strikeouts across 55.1 innings, Suarez has a shot to remain in Los Angeles' rotation.

Suarez (1-4) allowed six runs on five hits and three walks with six strikeouts in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.
Suarez hasn't completed five innings in any of his three July starts. He's allowed 12 runs in 12 innings this month.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Receives another start
Rotowire
Suarez is scheduled to make his next start Sunday in Houston.
He will unsurprisingly received another turn through the rotation after he impressed while working as a bulk reliever behind Andrew Wantz in last Sunday's win over the Mariners. Suarez notched his first win of the season in the six-inning outing, striking out eight while yielding one run on five hits and no walks. The left-hander is expected to be deployed as a traditional starter this time out, and he could have some staying power in the Angels' six-man rotation if he submits another solid performance.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Dominant in six innings
Rotowire
Suarez (1-2) picked up the win Sunday versus the Mariners. He allowed a run on five hits and struck out eight over six innings.
Suarez pitched behind opener Andrew Wantz, who was ejected after he hit Jesse Winker with a pitch, which ignited a brawl between the teams. The lone run on Suarez's line was from an Abraham Toro solo home run in the sixth inning, but the Angels were able to pull ahead in the seventh while the southpaw was still in the game. Suarez had not completed more than five innings in a start at the major-league level prior to Sunday. He owns a 4.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB across 33 innings overall. The Angels' pitching plans are still in flux heading into next week, but Suarez's next start is expected to be a road date in Houston next weekend.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Recalled, should fill primary role
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Suarez from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Sunday's game against the Mariners. He's expected to serve as the Angels' primary pitcher out of the bullpen in the series finale with Seattle, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Andrew Wantz is listed as the Halos' starting pitcher on the lineup card, but he hasn't worked more than 2.1 innings in any of his appearances this season and is expected to be deployed as an opener. Assuming that's the case, Suarez should be in line to fill a bulk-relief role, and the fact that he won't be starting could help his case for factoring into the decision. Over his previous seven outings (six starts) with the big club this season, Suarez has submitted a 5.00 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 26:17 K:BB across 27 innings.

Angels' Jose Suarez: Back in big-league rotation
Rotowire
Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said Suarez will be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Sunday's game against the Mariners in Anaheim, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Suarez was optioned to Triple-A last Sunday, one day after he struck out seven over 4.1 scoreless frames while starting one half of a doubleheader with the Mariners. He'll get another crack against Seattle this weekend, this time taking on the club at home. With the Angels sending the struggling Reid Detmers back to Triple-A earlier this week, Suarez could be in line for a more permanent stay in the big-league rotation.
