Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Suarez remained a perfectly serviceable mid-rotation option for the Phillies last season, though he did see his ERA jump over half a run from 3.65 to 4.18. His ERA estimators generally showed a more modest change, as a jump in strikeout rate from 19.5 percent to 22.0 percent helped offset a drop in groundball rate from 55.4 percent to 48.5 percent. A roughly average number of strikeouts and walks alongside a healthy diet of grounders has been the formula throughout Suarez's career, and there's little reason to doubt that will continue in 2024, health permitting. Elbow issues delayed his 2023 debut until mid-May and limited him to 22 starts, but he remained on the mound the rest of the way outside of a brief bout of hamstring soreness in late August. Suarez capped the year with his second consecutive excellent postseason, producing a 1.93 ERA across four starts. He's now a big-game pitcher and a locked-in starter for a contender, but his fantasy value is held back by the fact that his groundball-heavy profile leads to modest strikeout totals and an elevated WHIP (1.42 last season).

X-rays clean, unsure for next start
Suarez's (hand) X-rays came back negative Saturday but there's swelling in his left thumb and it's unclear if he'll be able to make his next scheduled start, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Fantasy managers can take a deep breath knowing that Suarez avoided significant injury after being hit by a comebacker during his start Saturday. While it's uncertain at this point if Suarez will recover in time for his next start -- which is scheduled for June 8 -- the 29-year-old is expected to avoid the injured list after Saturday's scare. He's been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, boasting a 9-1 record with a 1.70 ERA across 74.0 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be candidate for extension
Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer listed Suarez as a "prime candidate" to sign a contract extension with the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander posted a 4.18 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 125 innings last season and didn't open 2024 as a strong extension candidate, but he's been dominant through seven starts with a 1.72 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 46:6 K:BB over 47 innings. Suarez will have his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2025, so the Phillies could look to extend him prior to a contract year. The 28-year-old may also be interested in an extension sooner rather than later given he's never reached 160 frames in a season during his big-league career.

2019
In his first full season in the rotation, Suarez started 29 games as a 15-day visit to the IL for back spasms cost him three outings. Regression was expected, though the landing point was unclear due to the extreme nature of the 2021 breakout. He was unable to maintain last season's skills as his strikeout rate fell six points to 19.5% while his walk rate ticked up to 8.8%. After throwing a sinker, four-seamer and changeup with the occasional slider the previous season, Suarez added a cutter and curve. None were as effective as in 2021, though the new curve shows promise with a 17.7% swinging strike rate. With a regular offseason to tweak his arsenal, Suarez could recapture some of his swing-and-miss, while an extreme groundball rate limits homers, hence guarding ERA. Suarez as a starter is still a work in progress, but the pieces are there to be a mixed league asset, especially in a streaming capacity.
