Of these three pitchers, Ranger Suarez has the best shot at making the team. While last year was a lost season for Suarez, he was quite good in 2019. In fact, he was good enough that going into the 2020 season, he was in contention for the fifth starter job until he tested positive for COVID-19.
Joe Girardi, nor anyone else with the Phillies, has yet to say much about Ranger Suarez’s role this season, probably because visa issues delayed his arrival to Spring Training and now he’s nursing a minor quad injury. I presume that he’ll be in serious contention for a bullpen spot so long as he can warm up his arm in time, but I there’s a still chance that the Phillies want him to work as a starting pitcher in AAA.
