Javier Assad, RHP vs. Ranger Suarez, LHP
Javier Assad started his MLB career well, but his last two starts have been ugly, as I wrote in “Three up, three down” earlier this week.
If he wants to stick around he’s just going to have to be better.
He’s never faced the Phillies or anyone on their active roster. Whether that’s an advantage or not remains to be seen.
Fun fact: Ranger Suarez’ actual given name is… Ranger. Why that is, I do not know.
Suarez has had a solid year for the Phillies, worth 2.7 bWAR up to now. He last faced the Cubs September 15, 2021 in Philadelphia and even though that was after last year’s selloff, of the 15 Cubs who played in that game, only five are currently on the team’s active roster.
Since the All-Star break Suarez has a 2.45 ERA and 1.104 WHIP in 11 starts.
