On August 19th, the Philadelphia Phillies placed Ranger Suarez on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to August 16th) with a right hamstring strain. 

Last Friday, Suarez threw a bullpen session and today, he will throw to hitters with hopes of joining the Phillies’ rotation by Friday for the start of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
