Overview
- Atlanta officially announced Suarez has started a rehab assignment with Triple‑A Gwinnett, a move recorded on the MiLB transactions page and the team's social channels.
- He has not pitched since mid‑June because of right elbow and forearm inflammation and was placed on the 60‑day injured list while the club managed roster construction.
- When available this season Suarez was dominant, posting a 0.56 ERA across 31 appearances with 26 strikeouts and a 0.844 WHIP.
- The Braves are evaluating his progress daily and say a postseason return is possible but will depend on his rehab outings and medical checks.
- A healthy Suarez would strengthen Atlanta’s late‑inning relief options and could change bullpen matchups and roles during the playoffs.
