Reliever Robert Suarez is nearing a return to action. His progress includes a plan to face hitters soon, a key step before a potential rehab assignment. Suarez was a reliable performer before an injury, posting a strong ERA in 32 innings. He had been sidelined since June due to elbow inflammation.

A brief rehab assignment could allow Suarez to rejoin the team before the postseason. The details of his recovery have been closely followed, with some setbacks reported.

Further information on Suarez's status and the team's moves, including the recall of Bailey Falter, is available from the source.
