2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Picks up four-out save
Suarez earned a save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Guardians, striking out one and not allowing a hit or a walk in 1.1 scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Suarez came in with a runner on and two out in the eighth to face Bo Naylor and got him to pop out. He came back out for the ninth and pitched a perfect frame to register his 23rd save of the season. The 32-year-old continues to be one of the most dominant closers in baseball this year, as he's now tied for the fourth-most saves and carries a 1.62 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 39 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After pitching in Japan for five seasons, Suarez underwent a bit of an adjustment period in his transition to MLB. The 31-year-old compiled a 4.66 ERA over his first month pitching in the States, but ultimately turned in a fantastic season overall. The rookie right-hander posted a 32% strikeout rate, 2.27 ERA (2.99 SIERA) and 1.05 WHIP across 47.2 innings but was limited to 45 appearances due to a knee injury that required a clean-up procedure in June. Suarez missed two months of action, but he was particularly sharp upon his return, striking out 32 over his final 24.1 innings. He did not allow an earned run at Petco Park all year and established himself as the primary setup man for the Padres. Suarez should maintain that role in 2023, but closing may be in his future after San Diego re-signed him to a five-year, $46 million deal. He'll need to cut down on his walks (11%) to take that next step.
