Robert Suárez Begins Triple‑A Rehabilitation Assignment

The Braves sent the right‑hander to Triple‑A Gwinnett to allow team medical staff and coaches to monitor his elbow and forearm inflammation day to day.

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.
