Phillies place All-Star lefty Ranger Suárez on injured list with lower back soreness
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — All-Star left-hander Ranger Suárez was put on the 15-day injured list by the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday because of soreness in his lower back. The 28-year-old started 9-1 and earned his first National League All-Star selection and is 10-5 with a 2.87 ERA in 20 starts after a summer slide. He has thrown 119 1/3 innings, on pace to top his 125 last year and career high of 155 1/3 in 2022. Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he hoped Suárez could return at some point during the Aug. 8-11 series at Arizona. Thomson said Suárez woke up Friday with tightness in the back, though in a different area than the injury that caused Suárez to miss the All-Star Game. “He thought he could work though it in his bullpen,” Thomson said, “and he couldn’t. He was still tight afterward, so we’re going to be super cautious and give him a little rest.”
