Suarez gave up three hits, walked one and struck out five. He was essentially as advertised in his first season with the Red Sox. Suarez will finish the year 8-5 with a 3.22 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 140 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings over 28 starts. He turned 31 last month and his 3.68 xFIP suggests he’s not slowing down soon.

Suarez gave up a run in the opening frame, but managed to keep Tampa Bay off the scoreboard into the late innings despite issuing a season-high five walks. The control issues seem like a bit of an outlier considering he’s rarely handed out more than three free passes and four of those five walks went to Yandy Díaz and Junior Caminero in this one. He finished with five strikeouts and allowed three earned runs or fewer for the third consecutive start since the beginning of September. He’ll wrap up the regular season with a home matchup against the Guardians on Thursday.

Suarez cruised through five scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and no walks before Carter Jensen took him deep for a solo homer in the sixth. That would be all the damage the Royals could get across on Suarez. He pitched a scoreless seventh and finished his day with eight strikeouts. The 31-year-old left-hander will take a 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 130/40 K/BB ratio across 137 2/3 innings into a start against the Rays in Tampa Bay on Friday.

The Red Sox have some extra flexibility with off days coming up Thursday and Monday. Gray got to pitch on nine days’ rest last time through. Now, Suarez, who pitched seven scoreless innings against Baltimore last time out, will get eight days in between starts, with Gray working on five days’ rest.

Suarez gave up five hits, walked one and struck out three. He improved to 6-4 with the win. Suarez bounced back after allowing six runs in his previous start against the Yankees. He lowered his ERA to 3.44 with the scoreless outing Friday. Suarez is lined up to face the Angels at home next week.

Suarez allowed two walks and only struck out two. He had made it through four scoreless before things unraveled in the fifth, though there was a questionable umpiring decision involving Ceddanne Rafaela on a ball he appeared to catch. Rafaela was ruled to have “trapped” the ball even after review. That led to a two-run hit from Paul Goldschmidt, followed by a Heliot Ramos three-run homer. The Yankees took the season series with the victory. That could affect home-field advantage in the Wild Card Series if the two rivals finish with identical records. Suarez is scheduled to face the Orioles on the road next time out.

Suarez was uncharacteristically wild in this one, handing out a season-high four free passes, in addition to hitting a pair of batters, needing a staggering 93 pitches to complete five frames. He finished with four strikeouts and managed to limit Miami’s lineup to just a second-inning sacrifice fly from Otto Lopez. He’s struggled to work deep into starts, pitching into the sixth inning just once in six outings since coming off the injured list on July 26. It hasn’t been a massive issue for the Red Sox since Brayan Bello has been a revelation coming out of the bullpen as a multi-inning weapon. He’ll get the ball against the Yankees in a challenging road tilt to close out a two-start week on Sunday.

Congratulations to Suarez on his first decision since June. All of the runs came on Gabriel Moreno’s grand slam in the third, making this Suarez’s first win while giving up four runs since Sept. 21, 2023. He’s now 5-3 while posting a 3.41 ERA in 22 starts this season, and he’ll pitch in Miami next time out.

Suarez gave up six hits, walked one and struck out two. It’s the first time he’s completed at least five innings in a start since June 29 against the Nationals. Suarez’ 3.25 ERA and 3.32 xFIP are in line with his career norms, he just had a July to forget. Even though he only recorded two strikeouts Wednesday, Suarez has a 25 percent strikeout percentage this year. He’s lined up for a two-start week next week, starting with the Diamondbacks at home on Monday.

Suarez had an easy enough first two innings, but he gave up a walk, a homer, another walk and two singles in a 42-pitch third inning and then didn’t come back out for the fourth. He still hasn’t completed five innings in any of his three starts since coming off the IL, and he seems like a mediocre play next time out against the Blue Jays and Dylan Cease. However, since he’ll likely make two starts next week, including one in Pittsburgh, it’d be difficult not to use him in weekly leagues.

Not wanting him to face Shohei Ohtani for a third time, the Red Sox employed a surprisingly quick hook with Suarez after a walk and two singles in the fifth. So, Jovani Moran replaced him and gave up a homer to Ohtani anyway. Suarez threw just 65 pitches before exiting, and his stuff was fine. It would have been just fine to keep him in. Maybe he’ll be allowed to complete five innings next week against the White Sox.

Suarez struck out six without walking anyone, lowering his ERA to 3.02. It was Boston’s 22nd victory in 26 contests. The left-hander was making his first start since July 5 due to a groin issue. He signed a five-year pact with the club over the offseason and will resume operating as one of their top starters. However, Suarez’s next start lines up as a tough one at Dodger Stadium.

The 30-year-old southpaw had been sidelined since the first week of July due to a left groin strain, and then had his return delayed slightly while battling an illness. He’ll rejoin the Red Sox’ rotation for Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Blue Jays at Fenway Park.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed that Suarez is finally ready to take the ball after his return from the injured list was delayed by an illness earlier this week. The 30-year-old All-Star southpaw will return to a red-hot Boston squad after missing exactly three weeks with a groin strain. He got off to a bit of a slow start in his Red Sox debut, but finished the first half with a sparkling 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 97/26 K/BB ratio across 91 1/3 innings. It’ll be rookie Peyton Tolle drawing the starting assignment for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics out in West Sacramento.

Suarez was on track to return from the injured list earlier this week before an illness disrupted those plans. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters that the veteran southpaw is feeling better and could potentially take the ball for Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays since they want to keep rookie Payton Tolle on schedule for Monday’s series opener in West Sacramento against the Athletics.

Boston will attempt to notch their franchise-record 16th consecutive victory with rookie lefty Eduardo Rivera on the mound and Alec Gamboa coming up from Triple-A Worcester as long relief depth for Wednesday’s nightcap at Fenway Park. Suarez won’t be able to take the ball due to an illness. It’s challenging to pinpoint his exact return date given everything that has transpired in the last few days, but Suárez appears likely to return for either Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays or Monday’s matchup against the Athletics, if the Red Sox opt to give him a few extra days.

Boston determined it wanted to give Suarez at least one more day before activating Suarez as originally planned. This could in part be weather-related, as there’s a chance for heavy precipitation in Boston before/during Tuesday’s contest. Either way, it does appear Suarez not coming off the injured list is just a precautionary measure, and he should be back shortly.

Instead, Eduardo Rivera will get the start. Interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed Monday that Suarez would be get the nod and come off the 15-day IL, but now fantasy managers will need to wait for an update to see when the 30-year-old will return to the mound. It’s worth noting that there is a chance for heavy rain Tuesday evening, and that certainly could be a factor into why the Red Sox are pushing Suarez.

Suarez draws the starting assignment at Fenway Park for his first outing since July 5 as Boston looks to extend their unbelievable winning streak to 15 consecutive games. The 30-year-old southpaw got off to a rocky start in his Red Sox debut, but finished the first half with a strong 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 97/26 K/BB ratio across 91 1/3 innings to earn an All-Star Game selection.

It sounds like there’s still a chance Suarez will be activated from the injured list to start Tuesday’s contest against the Orioles, but the sizzling-hot Red Sox are going to wait until after his latest throwing session before making that call. Th 30-year-old All-Star lefty has been on the shelf with a groin strain since early July.
