Left-hander Brent Suter was thought to be lost for most of 2019 after undergoing Tommy John surgery in the off season. He was able to work his way back to a Minor League rehab stint, and progressed to the point that he could work out of the bullpen.
Suter was activated from the 60-day Injured List onto the active roster on September 1st. It looked like this was a move to add a popular clubhouse guy back onto the roster and get him a few innings here and there with an eye towards winning a job in 2020.
