Ranger Suárez has piled up enough pitches and innings this season for the reigning NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies to fit the modern definition of a workhorse.

The Philadelphia Phillies are predicted to lose star pitcher Ranger Suarez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a potential trade.

Suarez broke out as a bona fide ace with the Phillies in an All-Star season last year that saw him post a 3.46 ERA with 145 total strikeouts. Though he has struggled with injuries throughout his career and missed the beginning of this season, he has a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts so far.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez is predicted by former MLB general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. to make at least $25 million per year in free agency.

The Phillies don’t want to take any chances with Suárez (7-2, 1.99 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 73 K, 19 BB, 77 IP). He started the season on the IL for five weeks because of his back, and he has an intermittent history of back issues and other ailments.

One of the hottest names swirling around the July 31 MLB trade deadline is Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Ranger Suarez is dedicated to the organization, making his projected $20 million contract extension more of a possibility for the Phillies.

Ranger Suárez pitched seven strong innings and the Philadelphia Phillies edged the Atlanta Braves 2-1 to take the three-game series.
