Ranger Suárez has been the Philadelphia Phillies‘ saving grace this season, first in the bullpen, and recently, in the starting rotation.
He got knocked around a bit on Wednesday, but Suárez has earned the respect and admiration of his teammates. Bryce Harper recently said he loves Suárez’s demeanor, while fellow pitcher Archie Bradley called him a “savior” for the versatility he’s displayed, pitching in various situations throughout the year.
