Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez continued his hot streak in Monday's 7-0 win over the Reds. Suarez pitched seven innings, allowing just two hits and a walk with five strikeouts. The 28-year-old is now 4-0 with a 1.36 ERA, an 8.73 K/9 rate, and a 1.36 BB/9 rate in five starts. He has been a top fantasy performer early on and will look to continue his stellar performance in his next start at the Padres.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez continued his strong start in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Rockies. Suarez pitched a complete game shutout, allowing seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. The 28-year-old is now 3-0 with a 1.73 ERA, a 9.35 K/9 rate, and a 1.38 BB/9 rate in his first four starts. He is rostered in 67% of leagues, so fantasy managers should pick him up if available. He will look to keep things rolling in his next start, which projects to be a tougher matchup at the Reds.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez struck out eight Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday, launching six scoreless innings of two-hit ball with two walks en route to his second win during the 5-1 victory. Other than the free passes and a couple of innocuous singles, Suarez cruised through a formidable Pirates lineup that entered the day fifth in the major leagues in runs scored (69). Through three starts, the 28-year-old Venezuelan left-hander owns an excellent 2.65 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and 19:3 K:BB after tossing 15 scoreless innings of Grapefruit League play during spring training. Suarez will be a great streaming option in all season-long fantasy leagues and a popular DFS choice when he takes the mound for Tuesday's scheduled start at home versus the visiting Colorado Rockies, who are hitting only .218 and scoring just 3.4 runs per game over seven outings away from Coors Field so far this year.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez wasn't bad by any means, but he didn't pitch well enough to help his team win Game 7 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Suarez allowed three earned runs on six hits while walking none and striking out six in 4 2/3 innings. It was the first time that the 28-year-old southpaw had allowed three runs in his first nine postseason outings. It was his worst start of his playoff career, but the left-hander was still excellent this year in October, posting a 1.93 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings over his four starts against the Atlanta Braves and Diamondbacks.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez has a real possibility to pitch out of the bullpen in Game 5 Saturday night. Manager Rob Thomson said it would be treated like a regular throw-day, so Suarez would still be available for a possible Game 7. Suarez just started Game 3 on Thursday, throwing 69 pitches. The 28-year-old lasted 5 1/3 innings, giving up three hits and a walk while striking out seven. Suarez appeared out of the bullpen twice in last year's postseason run for the Phillies, so it wouldn't be uncharted territory for the Venezuelan.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez had an impressive performance to win Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Thursday night and send the division-rival Atlanta Braves home packing. Suarez shut down a record-breaking Braves offense, giving up just one earned run on three hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out two in five innings of work. The only run the 28-year-old southpaw allowed was a solo shot to Austin Riley in the fourth inning. Suarez isn't blowing the ball by hitters or dominating by any means, but he continues to be stingy in the postseason. He has a 1.16 career postseason ERA in seven outings (five starts) and has given up just an earned run while walking one and fanning six in 8 2/3 frames over two starts against the Braves this year.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez will look to pitch his team into the NLCS on Thursday as he takes on the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS. Suarez got the ball to kick off the series in Game 1 and tossed 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball while allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out four in an eventual 3-0 Phillies victory. The 28-year-old is one of the league's more underrated arms as he sports a 3.41 career ERA across 454 innings, and while he worked to a 4.18 ERA this season, he also sported a 2.90 SIERA in his 22 starts. In 16 appearances (seven starts) in his regular-season career against the Braves, Suarez has posted a 3.00 ERA while striking out 48 hitters in 48 innings in that time.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez has been tabbed as the team's starter for Game 4 of the National League Division Series in Philadelphia on Thursday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. The Phillies have a fresh bullpen behind him, too, so they won't be afraid to pull him early if he's not on his game as the Phils look for the series victory. The 28-year-old Venezuelan southpaw didn't get a win in Game 1 of the series but was solid nonetheless with 3 2/3 shutout innings while giving up only one hit, walking one and striking out four back on Saturday. Suarez also looked good against Atlanta in his lone start against them in the regular season, giving up just one earned run in six innings while walking two and fanning seven. Still, Atlanta's offense can blow up at any moment and really feasted on left-handed pitching all year.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said that left-hander Ranger Suarez will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Saturday in Atlanta against the division-rival Braves. Suarez will be followed by right-hander Zack Wheeler in Game 2 and righty Aaron Nola in Game 3. The 28-year-old southpaw faces an extremely difficult matchup against one of the best offenses in baseball, but he'll be on plenty of rest after not being needed in the two-game sweep over the Miami Marlins in the wild-card series. Suarez comes into the postseason after allowing 10 earned runs with four walks and 10 K's in 11 1/3 innings in his last two regular season starts. In his lone start against the Braves in 2023, Suarez was strong, giving up just one earned run while walking two and fanning seven in six innings in a no-decision on June 20.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez takes the bump for Thursday's start versus the New York Mets. 2023 has presented a rollercoaster ride for the 26-year-old, offering weak statistical returns in May and July with strong numbers in June, August, and September thus far. With a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring strain mixed in, Suarez owns a 2.86 ERA with 36 strikeouts in six starts (34.2 innings) since Aug. 1. The southpaw will look to continue these steady results against a Mets team he shows an equally impressive 2.96 ERA with 19 punchouts in 27.1 frames dating back to 2019. With the fantasy playoffs fully underway in most leagues, Suarez looks like a fine streaming option for those seeking a quality start on Thursday's shorter slate.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez was dominant throughout most of his start versus the Miami Marlins on Sunday. The left-hander allowed three runs on two hits over 6.1 innings of work here. Suarez allowed three walks, but also struck out a season-high 10 batters during this game. He was cruising until the seventh inning where he was charged with three earned runs and handed the no-decision. Before this game, Suarez had allowed opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings. He should be a viable streaming option against the St. Louis Cardinals in his next start.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hamstring) is officially lined up to return from the 15-day injured list and start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Phillies didn't send Suarez on a minor-league rehab assignment, so the 28-year-old southpaw could be a bit limited with his pitch count in his return this weekend and therefore will make for a pretty shaky fantasy streaming option against one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. Suarez hasn't made a start since Aug. 13. Even though Suarez won't be that great of a fantasy play in his first start back, he still has value in mixed leagues the rest of the way in 2023. He's returning to a 3.88 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 89 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings over his 17 starts this year.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hamstring) felt good after throwing a live batting practice session on Monday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Friday. If that goes well, he's likely to return from the injured list to start on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Phillies put the 28-year-old southpaw on the shelf on Aug. 19 due to a right-hamstring strain, but he's made good progress and is on the cusp of a return to the team's starting rotation. Fantasy managers might want to think twice before using the Venezuelan hurler in starting lineups against a red-hot Brewers squad this weekend, but he's pitched well overall this year to the tune of a 3.88 ERA (3.89 FIP), 1.43 WHIP, 35 walks and 89 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings over his 17 starts.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to August 16. Suarez was originally slated to start on Sunday but the team stated on Friday that he would miss the start with a hamstring issue. The hope was that Suarez would avoid the injured list but that's not going to happen. The 27-year-old owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 89:35 K/BB ratio over 91 1/3 innings (17 starts) on the season. He has a chance to return to the Phillies' rotation in early September if he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Right-handed pitcher Andrew Bellatti was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (hamstring) will miss his next scheduled start on Sunday against the Washington Nationals due to soreness in his hamstring, which came on in Toronto during the week. Right-hander Zack Wheeler will start on Sunday in Suarez's place. The good news is that the Phillies don't think Suarez's injury is a long-term concern. The 27-year-old southpaw may only miss the one start this weekend, but we won't know for sure until next week. It's definitely bad timing for his fantasy managers, as Suarez has been strong so far in the month of August, allowing just five earned runs on 22 hits while walking seven and striking out 16 in 18 1/3 innings over three starts against the Marlins, Nationals and Twins.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez is getting the ball for Tuesday's start against Josiah Gray and the Washington Nationals. The 27-year-old has posted a 4.01 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 20.8% strikeout rate with just two wins over 15 starts. However, Suarez is still limiting the homers (0.84 HR/9), leading to a more impressive 3.80 FIP. The Venezuelan native is a fine option in most fantasy leagues, especially against the lowly Nats, who own a .719 OPS as a club.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez finally turned in a good start Tuesday but took the loss in a 2-0 game against the Mets. Suarez pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with four strikeouts. It was by far the best of Suarez's four starts this season, bringing his ERA down to 7.13. The 27-year-old had not pitched well since returning from the injured list with a left elbow strain, so this was an encouraging sign for fantasy managers. Suarez has been a useful fantasy option over the last two seasons and will have the opportunity to build on his success in his next matchup, which will be a favorable one at the Nationals.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to make his season debut against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The left-hander has been sidelined since early March due to a left elbow strain. He made three rehab starts before the team decided he was healthy enough to return. That being said, Bailey Falter is going to have his next turn skipped in the rotation. Taijuan Walker is being moved up to Friday, so Falter could end up falling out of the rotation soon. Suarez pitched well for the Phillies last season, but pitching in Coors Field is never a good time for pitchers. He might not be the best option for Saturday's slate, but going forward, Suarez should be a reliable option.

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab assignment start on May 7 for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. If all goes well, manager Rob Thompson told reporters he could be activated and join the rotation. Suarez has made one rehab appearance already, throwing two innings of work on May 2, allowing no runs or hits while walking and striking out one. The southpaw has been on the shelf since the 2023 season began after dealing with left forearm inflammation during Spring Training. Last season, Suarez pitched to a 3.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 19.5% strikeout rate with 10 wins over 29 starts. Fantasy managers can expect the same kind of results once he's back on the field with the Phillies.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (elbow) is set for a minor league rehab assignment according to manager Rob Thompson. Suarez has been facing hitters so a rehab assignment is the next step in his progression. The team wants him to make at least three starts in the minors, per Thompson, in order to get his pitch count and stamina built up. Suarez dealt with left forearm inflammation toward the end of spring training and has yet to make his season debut. If all goes well, he should rejoin the Phillies rotation around the middle of May.
