Suarez came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Mets, giving up two runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw exited the mound after 91 pitches (57 strikes) with the score tied 2-2, and both New York runs came on second-inning solo shots by Francisco Alvarez and Luisangel Acuna. Suarez hasn't completed six innings in a start since the All-Star break, and his last quality start came back on June 25. In six starts since returning from back trouble in late August, he's posted a 4.30 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB through 29.1 innings. He lines up to make his last start of the regular season on the road next weekend against the Nationals, but with the Phillies having clinched the NL East, they could shuffle things around to set up their postseason rotation.

Suarez (12-7) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez battled but was mostly inefficient, needing 104 pitches to get through five frames. The southpaw has walked multiple batters in three straight starts and has failed to complete six innings in each of his five outings since returning from the injured list Aug. 24. On the season, he owns a 3.13 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 139:36 K:BB across 143.2 innings and lines up to face the Mets on the road this weekend.

Suarez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-4 win over Tampa Bay, allowing four runs on 12 hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The 12 hits given up by Suarez are a new season high. The left-hander's been in a rut of late -- he's failed to make it through six innings in seven of his last eight starts, posting a 6.02 ERA in that span. Overall, Suarez is 12-6 on the season with a 3.05 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 134:33 K:BB across 24 starts (138.2 innings). He'll look to get back on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week in Milwaukee.

Suarez (12-6) picked up the win Thursday, allowing three hits and two walks over five scoreless innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez didn't allow a baserunner to get past second base as he tossed his first outing of at least five innings with no runs allowed since mid-May. While he maintains an ERA of 2.90 with a 1.07 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old lefty had struggled over his previous six starts with a 6.90 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 30 innings. It was the 12th win of the season for Suarez, good for a tie for 11th in all of baseball, but just his third win since the calendar turned to June. He will look to continue to round back into form as the Phillies head toward the playoffs, with his next start scheduled to take place at home against the Rays.

Suarez (11-6) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk over four innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez threw two scoreless frames before Atlanta plated two runs in each of the third and fourth innings. He served up back-to-back homers to Orlando Arcia and Sean Murphy in the third. It was just the second time this year that Suarez gave up multiple home runs in an outing and he's allowed just 11 through 128.1 innings this season. He's posted a 6.25 ERA while going 1-5 over his last seven outings, raising his season ERA to 3.02. Suarez is in line to start in Miami next week.

Suarez (11-5) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings to earn the win over the Royals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez missed a month due to back soreness, which partially explains why he posted a 6.67 ERA over 27 innings across his last five starts before heading to the injured list. He was back in strong form Saturday, though he threw just 72 pitches (46 strikes) in the blowout win, earning his first victory since June 8. The southpaw is now at a 2.82 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 122:28 K:BB through 124.1 innings over 21 starts this season. He's lined up for a home start versus Atlanta next week.

The Phillies reinstated Suarez (back) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez landed on the injured list in late July with lower-back soreness, and he'll now return after nearly a month to start Saturday's game against the Royals. He didn't pitch in a rehab game in the minors during his recovery, so there's a good chance he'll be working under some sort of pitch count during his first start since July 22. Tyler Gilbert was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Suarez (back) lines up to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Royals, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander still needs to complete a bullpen session in the next couple days, but he should return Saturday assuming he doesn't suffer a setback. Suarez landed on the shelf in late July due to lower-back soreness, and he'll likely face some minor workload restrictions in his return to the rotation while coming back without a minor-league rehab assignment.

Suarez (back) is tentatively lined up to rejoin the Phillies' rotation during their Aug. 23-25 series in Kansas City, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez threw a simulated game Tuesday, which was the first time he's faced hitters since he went down with lower-back soreness in late July. He'll face hitters again Sunday, either in another simulated setting or in a rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. If Suarez comes out of that with no issues, he will be cleared to rejoin the rotation the following weekend.

Suarez (back) is scheduled to throw an extended live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. "We're going to push him a little bit," manager Rob Thomson said of the upcoming session.

EDGE Analysis

Thomson said that Suarez tossed a "touch-and-feel" bullpen session Sunday in Arizona, which followed a 36-pitch simulated game this past Thursday. Suarez looks set to ramp up the volume and intensity of his pitches Tuesday, after which the Phillies might have a better idea regarding when he might return from the 15-day injured list. Thomson suggested that Suarez won't be activated until after the Phillies' homestand that ends Sunday, so the left-hander shouldn't be expected to rejoin the rotation until at least next Tuesday in Atlanta.
