Suarez allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.
Suarez continues to operate on a limited workload -- he threw just 54 pitches (42 strikes) in his second start back from a groin strain. The left-hander wasn't as sharp in this performance as his last one, which may partially explain the early exit, though it appears he's still at least a couple of starts from getting back to a full workload. For the season, Suarez has a 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 105:28 K:BB over 100 innings across 19 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the White Sox.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Reinstated for Sunday's start
Rotowire
The Red Sox activated Suarez (groin/illness) from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The left-hander was originally poised to come off the injured list in the middle of last week, but an illness pushed back his return. Now fully recovered from the ailment and the groin strain that originally landed him on the IL, Suarez is ready to make his first big-league appearance since July 5. In five starts prior to that injury-shortened outing, the 30-year-old had a 2.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB over 30 innings.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Suarez (groin/illness) will be activated from the injured list to start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Originally scheduled to start Tuesday's game against Baltimore before falling ill, Suarez now seems to be fully healthy and ready to rejoin Boston's rotation after landing on the injured list due to a groin strain in early July. His first start back will come against a Toronto lineup that's been ice cold of late, posting just a .603 OPS across 18 games since the beginning of the month.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Suarez (groin/illness) is an option to return from the 15-day injured list to start Sunday's series finale versus the Blue Jays at Fenway Park, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Suarez was initially lined up to start during Red Sox's series against the Orioles earlier in the week, but his activation was delayed after he succumbed to an illness. Tracy relayed that he wants to ensure that Suarez is back to full health before taking the mound, so the Red Sox will presumably check back in with the veteran southpaw on Saturday before deciding on his availability for the series finale. If Suarez can't go Sunday, Payton Tolle would be lined up to start.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Won't be activated Wednesday
Rotowire
Interim manager Chad Tracy said that Suarez (groin/illness) won't be activated from the injured list to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Suarez isn't dealing with any setbacks related to the left groin strain that sent him to the shelf July 9; instead, it's an illness that surfaced earlier this week that will keep him from taking the hill Wednesday. Eduardo Rivera will draw the start for the nightcap as the Red Sox go for their 16th straight win, but Suarez shouldn't have to wait long to return from the injured list. The Red Sox could insert Suarez into the rotation at some point during their home series versus the Blue Jays this weekend or in Monday's series opener versus the Athletics.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Could pitch Wednesday
Rotowire
Interim Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said that Suarez (groin) is in the mix to return from the 15-day injured list to start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
The left-hander was scheduled to come off the injured list to start Tuesday's contest, but Eduardo Rivera was instead named the starter for that game before it was ultimately postponed due to inclement weather. Suarez is apparently experiencing some soreness after recently testing out his groin and is also feeling a bit under the weather, which prompted Boston to move back his return. Even if Suarez doesn't end up taking the mound in Wednesday's nightcap, he could still be back in the Red Sox's rotation later this week.
The Red Sox want to give Suarez (groin), who will not start Tuesday against the Orioles as previously scheduled, at least one more day before reinstating him from the injured list after he pushed himself pretty hard over the past few days, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Eduardo Rivera is instead taking the mound Tuesday for Boston. Suarez has been on the shelf since sustaining the left groin strain July 5 in Anaheim, and he was set to rejoin the big-league rotation without a rehab assignment. The left-hander still seems like an option to pitch in Wednesday's series finale, though his status is a bit up in the air until the team provides a more concrete update.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Not starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Suarez (groin) won't start Tuesday against the Orioles as previously scheduled, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
The left-hander was poised to come off the injured list to start Tuesday versus Baltimore after a two-week absence due to a groin strain, but there's now been a change of plan. It's unclear whether or not Suarez has suffered a setback, though it's possible Tuesday's rainy weather forecast is prompting Boston to exercise caution with his return, per Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston. The Red Sox should provide an update in the near future. Eduardo Rivera will now take the mound Tuesday versus the Orioles.

Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Confirmed to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Suarez (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Orioles in Boston, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Suarez will make his return to the bump after suffering a left groin strain in a July 5 start against the Angels. He'll aim to propel the Red Sox to a 15th consecutive victory following the team's come-from-behind 6-5 win Monday in the series opener. Suarez owns a 2.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 40 strikeouts in 32.2 innings over his previous six starts.
Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Could be activated Tuesday
Rotowire
Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Friday that Suarez (groin) could be activated from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday to start against the Orioles that night, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Suarez was diagnosed with a left groin strain after exiting a July 5 start against the Angels, resulting him going on the IL and missing out on pitching in the All-Star Game. The southpaw's recovery from the injury seems to have gone smoothly, and barring any setbacks over the weekend, he'll be lined up to take the ball for Boston's sixth game out of the All-Star break. Suarez posted a superb 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB across 91.1 innings over his 17 starts in the first half.
Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Sent to IL with groin strain
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain.
Suarez exited his previous start Sunday against the Angels due to what the Red Sox referred to as left adductor tightness, but a subsequent MRI revealed a groin strain, which will keep the southpaw out through the All-Star break and prevent him from pitching in the Midsummer Classic. Suarez earned his second All-Star nod after compiling a 3.15 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB across 91.1 innings in his first season with Boston. His turn in the rotation had been set to come up Saturday at Citi Field, and the Red Sox are now likely to call up Brayan Bello from Triple-A Worcester to either start or pitch in bulk relief in that game against the Mets.
Red Sox's Ranger Suarez: Hopeful of avoiding injured list
Rotowire
The Red Sox "remain hopeful" Suarez (adductor) can avoid the 15-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Suarez was forced from Sunday's outing against the Angels in the third inning due to left adductor tightness. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday, at which point the Red Sox will have a better idea as to whether Suarez can make his next start which is tentatively lined up for Saturday against the Mets. With the All-Star break looming, the Red Sox could play it safe and hold Suarez out. Suarez made the All-Star team, but there's a good chance he'll be replaced on the AL roster.
