2024 Fantasy Outlook
Suarez showed plenty of flashes that suggested he can be an effective starter during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns while forging a 3.86 ERA and 188/69 K/BB over 207.1 innings during that time frame. Those flashes were miniscule in 2023 with an 8.29 ERA and 1.96 WHIP over 11 appearances -- seven of those starts -- and also dealing with a shoulder injury. The 26-year-old southpaw has a below-average fastball that rarely gets above 93 mph, and he wasn't able to command that pitch well as seen in a 12.1 percent walk rate along with an 11.2 percent barrel rate. He was able to get hitters to swing and miss at 28.5 percent of his offerings, so there was a smidgen of bad luck in his well below-average 17 percent strikeout mark. Suarez could make starts for the Angels in 2024, but his most likely role for Los Angeles will be a multi-inning relief that provides no fantasy help. Read Past Outlooks
Getting start Thursday
Suarez is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Suarez will be moving from the bullpen to take over the rotation spot that was created after the Angels demoted Caden Dana to Double-A Rocket City and placed Samuel Aldegheri (finger) on the injured list. Suarez has made just one other start with the Angels this season, which came back on June 11 versus the Diamondbacks. He failed to escape the third inning in that outing and was charged with four earned runs on six hits and one walk.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Suarez began 2022 in the big-league rotation and was demoted after he gave up 12 earned runs over 17 innings through his first four starts, but he rejoined the rotation in June and delivered a 3.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB across 91.1 frames the rest of the way. The left-hander slightly improved upon his strikeout and walk rates (22.3 percent and 7.1 percent, respectively), and a 3.86 xFIP indicates his production was well earned. Suarez bounced between the rotation and bullpen in 2021 and worked better as a reliever, so his consistency in the rotation last season was an encouraging development. His groundball rate dropped nearly seven percentage points to 41.3 percent, but his HR/FB rate remained steady at 11.8 percent. Suarez's numbers don't jump off the page, but he should be a solid piece at the back end of the Angels' rotation in 2023 and should at least have some streaming appeal.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will get more chances
Angels manager Ron Washington said Saturday the organization believes Suarez is "capable of producing" and is "still planning on running him out there," reports Sam Blum of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander is a strong candidate to be designated for assignment with a 10.13 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 16:13 K:BB across 16 innings, but the Angels apparently aren't ready to move on. Suarez struggled to an 8.29 ERA over 33.2 innings last season, though he was a solid swingman in 2021 and 2022 with a 3.86 ERA in 45 outings.
