Ranger Suarez Hits IL, Sonny Gray Eyes All-Star Spot
Suarez's IL placement reshapes the Phillies rotation and could boost Gray's All-Star case heading into the break.
Ranger Suarez has been placed on the injured list, removing him from action ahead of the All-Star break. His absence created a roster opening that Patrick Sandoval helped fill with innings against the White Sox. Sonny Gray, who starts Friday against the Mets, is now mentioned as a potential All-Star candidate given the vacancy Suarez's IL stint may create. The article does not specify the nature of Suarez's injury.
