Ranger Suarez To Make Season Debut On Saturday
2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to make his season debut against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The left-hander has been sidelined since early March due to a left elbow strain. He made three rehab starts before the team decided he was healthy enough to return. That being said, Bailey Falter is going to have his next turn skipped in the rotation. Taijuan Walker is being moved up to Friday, so Falter could end up falling out of the rotation soon. Suarez pitched well for the Phillies last season, but pitching in Coors Field is never a good time for pitchers. He might not be the best option for Saturday's slate, but going forward, Suarez should be a reliable option.
