2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending two injury-marred seasons in a setup role, Suarez remained healthy and emerged as the Padres closer. The 33-year-old was outstanding, racking up nine wins (T-2nd among relievers), 36 saves (4th in the league) and an 81.8 percent team save share that was 6th-highest among closers. He was named NL Reliever of the Month for May and earned his first All-Star selection. Suarez wasn't sharp in the second half, but still finished with a respectable 2.77 ERA and 1.05 WHIP for the season. Perhaps most impressively, he signficantly improved his walk rate, cutting it by three percentage points. This may be attributed to a pitch mix change, as Suarez went fastball-heavy (71 percent usage) while completely abandoning his slider. The right-hander displayed improved velocity on his four-seamer, averaging 99.1 miles per hour on the pitch compared to 97.7 in 2023. As long as health persists for Suarez, he's the favorite to retain closing duties for San Diego in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Crumbles in non-save situation
Suarez (1-2) allowed five runs on five hits and struck out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
ANALYSIS
Suarez was called upon to protect a four-run lead in the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. He gave up three straight singles, then struck out Corbin Carroll before giving up an RBI single to Ketel Marte and a game-tying three-run triple to Gerlado Perdomo. Adrian Morejon allowed an inherited runner to score, and that was charged to Suarez, sending him to his first loss since his other five-run implosion of the year back on May 12 versus the Angels. Those account for two of the four appearances in which Suarez has been scored on. This outing inflated his ERA from 1.78 to 3.23. but he still has a sparkling 0.88 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He also has 21 saves in 23 chances, and as long as this kind of performance doesn't become the norm, Suarez's status as the Padres' closer is safe.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After an impressive debut in the States in 2022, Suarez declined his $5 million player option last November and became a free agent. A few days later, the right-hander signed a five-year contract with the Padres, as the team clearly thought highly of him to pay him $10 million per season. Unfortunately, Suarez missed the entire first half of 2023 while recovering from severe elbow inflammation. The soon-to-be 33-year-old made his season debut right after the All-Star break and slid right back into setup duties. Suarez would only pitch 27.2 innings across 26 appearances, however, as he also missed 10 games for the alleged use of a foreign substance. Suarez wound up compiling four wins, nine holds and a 0.90 WHIP for San Diego last year and figures to have a leg up for closing duties in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Top NL reliever for March/April
Suarez was named the National League Reliever of the Month for March/April on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Following an offseason full of trade rumors, Suarez delivered a dominant opening month to 2025 with a 0.64 ERA, 0.57 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 14 innings. He also picked up saves in his first two outings of May and has converted all 14 of his chances to lead MLB in the category. The Padres have begun the campaign with a 23-11 record, and the club would likely need to fall in the standings in order for a trade to be seriously considered this summer.
