Suarez expects to be ready for the start of the season despite visa issues delaying his arrival at camp, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez didn't arrive until Thursday, raising speculation that he wouldn't have time to fully build up before the start of the regular season. He was able to throw bullpen sessions before leaving Venezuela, however, and he believes he won't be delayed. It's possible the team has different ideas about his readiness, but any potential delay shouldn't last particularly long.
