Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Suarez remained a perfectly serviceable mid-rotation option for the Phillies last season, though he did see his ERA jump over half a run from 3.65 to 4.18. His ERA estimators generally showed a more modest change, as a jump in strikeout rate from 19.5 percent to 22.0 percent helped offset a drop in groundball rate from 55.4 percent to 48.5 percent. A roughly average number of strikeouts and walks alongside a healthy diet of grounders has been the formula throughout Suarez's career, and there's little reason to doubt that will continue in 2024, health permitting. Elbow issues delayed his 2023 debut until mid-May and limited him to 22 starts, but he remained on the mound the rest of the way outside of a brief bout of hamstring soreness in late August. Suarez capped the year with his second consecutive excellent postseason, producing a 1.93 ERA across four starts. He's now a big-game pitcher and a locked-in starter for a contender, but his fantasy value is held back by the fact that his groundball-heavy profile leads to modest strikeout totals and an elevated WHIP (1.42 last season).

Improves to 5-0 Saturday
Suarez (5-0) earned the victory over San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out eight batters over eight innings.
ANALYSIS
Suarez's scoreless inning streak came to an end at 32.2 frames when Eguy Rosario touched him up for a solo homer in the eighth inning, but that did little to take away from another dominant effort. The left-hander posted his fifth straight quality start, and he's struck out exactly eight batters in three of those outings. Suarez has been among the league's best pitchers in the early part of the season -- he's tied for the MLB lead with five wins, leads all qualified pitchers with a minuscule 0.63 WHIP and ranks fourth with a 1.32 ERA.

Named NL's best for March/April
Suarez was named the National League Pitcher of the Month for March/April on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander is penciled in as Philadelphia's No. 3 starter behind Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola but has pitched like an ace through six starts in 2024 with a 1.32 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 40:5 K:BB over 41 innings. Suarez's 5-0 record already has him halfway toward his career high of 10 wins, which he set in 2022 and was accompanied by a 3.65 ERA in 29 outings.

In his first full season in the rotation, Suarez started 29 games as a 15-day visit to the IL for back spasms cost him three outings. Regression was expected, though the landing point was unclear due to the extreme nature of the 2021 breakout. He was unable to maintain last season's skills as his strikeout rate fell six points to 19.5% while his walk rate ticked up to 8.8%. After throwing a sinker, four-seamer and changeup with the occasional slider the previous season, Suarez added a cutter and curve. None were as effective as in 2021, though the new curve shows promise with a 17.7% swinging strike rate. With a regular offseason to tweak his arsenal, Suarez could recapture some of his swing-and-miss, while an extreme groundball rate limits homers, hence guarding ERA. Suarez as a starter is still a work in progress, but the pieces are there to be a mixed league asset, especially in a streaming capacity.
