Suarez Soreness Stalls Ramp-Up, Season Availability in Doubt
The Padres closer remains sidelined with lingering soreness, and the team is taking a cautious approach that could cost him the rest of the year.
Robert Suarez continues to deal with soreness and has not yet begun a throwing ramp-up. Manager Walt Weiss indicated the team will not push Suarez until they are fully confident he is 100 percent healthy. The concern is that any setback at this stage of the season would leave insufficient time for recovery before the year ends. His availability for the remainder of the season is genuinely in question.
