The Phillies announced that left-hander Tony Carr Jersey has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to lower back sorene s. The placement is retroactive to July 24. Left-hander has been called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to take Suarezs spot on the active roster. Suarezs back has been bothering him for some time, as he pa sed on playing in his first All-Star Game in order to rest up over the break and hopefully return to form. This plan didnt come to fruition, as Suarez allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings in his first start after the break, a 7-2 Phillies lo s to the Twins on July 22. Losing Suarez for a minimum of 15 days anyway now makes it easy to criticize the Phils plan in hindsight, yet with nine days in between starts, it is understandable why Suarez and the team thought hed have enough time to put this back i sue behind him. Philadelphias nine-game lead in the NL East gives the team some flexibility with injuries, of course, and this IL stint now gives Suarez plenty of time to fully get healthy for the stretch run and into October. With a 7.71 ERA in his last four starts and 21 innings, Suarez has seemingly been trying to pitch through discomfort for some time, though some regre sion was perhaps inevitable given his red-hot start to the 2024 season. Even with his recent struggles, Suarez still has a 2.87 ERA acro s 119 1/3 innings, as well as barrel, walk, and hard-hit ball rates that rank among the leagues best. After delivering solid numbers as a member of the Phillies rotation in 2022-23, Suarezs emergence into a borderline ace has only added to the teams enviable pitching depth. Suarez, , , and have all been good to great, and and have also been good in some spot duty. With Suarez, Turnbull, and all on the IL at the moment, Allard might get the next opportunity at filling a hole in the rotation. Allard signed a split contract with the Phillies during the offseason, but the six-year MLB veteran hasnt distinguished himself with a 5.60 ERA over 72 1/3 minor league innings. Walker is slated to throw a live batting practice today as he works his way back from blister problems, but he wont be an option for the rotation until August, and after he has banked a minor league rehab start or two. This might put him roughly on the same timeline as Suarez a suming the back problem isnt overly serious, so the Phillies could try to make do with Allard or until reinforcements arrive. It is po sible the team might seek out some rotation depth at the trade deadline, but that might be more likely to come in the form of a swingman type that could easily transition to the bullpen once the regular starters are healthy.
