Rest-of-Season Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Suarez looked like a strong relief option in 2019, posting a 3.14 ERA in 48.2 innings, but his 2020 season was unfortunately almost a complete write-off. He battled COVID-19 during summer camp and wasn't deemed ready to join the big-league roster until the final day of August. Three poor outings later, he was sent right back to the team's alternate training site, and he didn't pitch again the rest of the way. He finished the year with an unsightly 20.25 ERA and 3.50 WHIP, though the sample size is far too small to draw any meaningful conclusions. We're probably best served looking back to 2019 when assessing Suarez's future. He posted a below-average 20.5 K% that season but made up for it with a 5.9 BB% and a 55.1% groundball rate. That's not a high-leverage reliever by any means, but it should be enough to keep him in the big leagues, either as a left-handed relief weapon or a swingman. Read Past Outlooks
Dazzles in final 2021 start
Suarez (8-5) shut out the Marlins over seven innings to claim the win Friday in the Phillies' 5-0 triumph. He scattered six hits and a walk and struck out a season-high nine batters in the outing.
ANALYSIS
The Phillies fell short in their bid to leapfrog Atlanta in the National League East standings in the final week of the season, but Suarez proved to be a revelation for the club upon converting from the bullpen to the rotation in early August. Over 12 starts, he submitted a 1.51, 1.08 WHIP and 65:19 K:BB in 65.2 innings. Though the Phillies deliberately limited his pitch counts in some of those early starts while he was building up his workload, Suarez was a workhorse down the stretch, covering at least six frames in each of his final five starts. He's not only secured a rotation spot for the Phillies heading into 2022, but he may even be a viable SP3 option in fantasy drafts.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
There weren't many pleasant surprises on the Phillies' pitching staff in 2019, but Suarez was one of them. Despite a 5.68 ERA in seven starts for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Suarez got the call to the big-league bullpen in early June and spent all but three days on the roster the rest of the way. In 48.2 innings at the highest level, he posted a strong 3.14 ERA. The lefty doesn't exactly have the profile of a pitcher one would expect to improve drastically out of the bullpen; he has unimpressive velocity (92.8 mph) but good control (5.9 BB%) and used two secondary pitches (a slider and a changeup) at least 20% of the time. The performance looks largely legitimate, however, backed up by a 3.89 FIP and a 3.64 xFIP. His strikeout rate remained modest at 20.5%, but Suarez is now one of the top lefties in the bullpen, and as such should earn double-digit holds for the first time.
