Suarez, whose achy but not breaky back has set him back since spring training, has finally been cleared to rejoin the club on an active basis, and is slated to start Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. With his season debut, Suarez becomes the Phillies’ sixth starter – by number, not status.

Sidelined by a sore back for the first five weeks of the season, Ranger Suarez will make his 2025 debut on Sunday afternoon when the Philadelphia Phillies go for a three-game sweep of the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.

A new report indicated that Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez should be returning to the team soon from his injury.
