Phillies Limit Ace Ranger Suarez’s Start Amid Back Concern

News summary

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suárez has been one of MLB's most dominant starters this season, boasting a 1.99 ERA and 73 strikeouts over 77 1/3 innings, while allowing just 10 earned runs in his last 11 outings. Despite a recent outing limited to 80 pitches due to shoulder and back concerns, Phillies manager Rob Thomson emphasized the restriction was precautionary, given Suárez's heavy workload and past injury history. Suárez, who missed April with a back injury, has consistently delivered quality starts and is a strong candidate for a second straight All-Star selection. With free agency looming after the season, insiders predict Suárez could command a contract nearing $100 million if his performance continues. The Phillies face a challenge in retaining their star lefty, as his calm demeanor and effectiveness have made him a key part of the NL's most well-rounded rotation. The team and Suárez agree that managing his health is crucial for sustained success into the postseason.
