The Phillies don’t want to take any chances with Suárez (7-2, 1.99 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 73 K, 19 BB, 77 IP). He started the season on the IL for five weeks because of his back, and he has an intermittent history of back issues and other ailments.

Ranger Suárez has piled up enough pitches and innings this season for the reigning NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies to fit the modern definition of a workhorse.

Suarez broke out as a bona fide ace with the Phillies in an All-Star season last year that saw him post a 3.46 ERA with 145 total strikeouts. Though he has struggled with injuries throughout his career and missed the beginning of this season, he has a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts so far.

Philadelphia Phillies starter Ranger Suarez is expected to lose interest from "10, to 12, to 15" teams in free agency amid his lower velocity.

Ranger Suárez was pulled after five innings, which handed a tied game over to the bullpen. However, Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber both launched two-run homers to seal a 5-1 victory.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez is predicted by former MLB general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. to make at least $25 million per year in free agency.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez is dedicated to the organization, making his projected $20 million contract extension more of a possibility for the Phillies.

Everything the Phillies have done this season, everything they will do in the second half, is framed around the World Series. They want to win it. They need to win it.

Misiorowski, whose strikeout stuff is a social media sensation, has only made five starts this season compared to Sánchez's 18 starts.

A Matt Shaw replacement would be nice for the Chicago Cubs during the trade deadline on July 31. There seems to be a clear top third baseman available, and that's Eugenio Suarez of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
