Ranger Suarez Injury: Tosses 78 pitches in rehab outing

Suarez (back) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight in 4.2 innings during his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The left-hander threw 78 pitches in the rehab start, his fourth since beginning his minor-league assignment April 10. Suarez looks like he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues, but the uncertain status of Cristopher Sanchez (forearm) -- who is considered day-to-day -- creates some uncertainty about when Suarez might be called upon to pitch for the Phillies.
