Suarez (elbow) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Suarez has been slowly progressing through his recovery from right elbow inflammation that landed him on the 15-day injured list in late June before he was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 1. Sunday is the last game of the regular season for Gwinnett, so any additional sessions for Suarez will likely be in bullpens while with Atlanta. The veteran right-hander could be back in the bullpen with the big club before the 2026 regular season concludes.

Suarez (elbow) faced live hitters Sunday, throwing 15 pitches and touching 98 mph with his fastball, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports. "I was very encouraged," manager Walt Weiss said afterward. "To be honest with you, I wasn't expecting that. I thought he kind of eased into it, but he let it go, and it was really good, and he felt really good afterwards."

The right-hander hasn't seen game action since June 19, but Suarez looks like he may be able to rejoin Atlanta's bullpen before the end of the regular season. He'll get in one more session against live hitters and could then be sent on a brief rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett before the International League season ends next week. Suarez has a sparkling 0.56 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB through 32 innings this season with four wins, four saves and 12 holds in 31 appearances.

Suarez (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session next week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

If Suarez's live BP goes well, he'll then be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. The veteran reliever has not pitched in a game since late June, but with time running short on the regular season, Suarez might not be afforded too many rehab outings before being activated. He's working his way back from right elbow inflammation.

Atlanta transferred Suarez (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Atlanta. It does not alter Suarez's timeline, as he's already missed more than 60 days of action. Suarez has resumed throwing off a mound as he works his way back from right elbow inflammation, and he should rejoin the Atlanta bullpen sometime this month, barring setbacks.

Suarez (elbow) took pitcher's fielding practice at Truist Park on Monday and will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

The veteran reliever is ready to take the mound for the first time since he went down with right elbow inflammation more than two months ago. Suarez said that he expects to throw at least one more bullpen session after Tuesday before his next step is determined. He remains in line to return from the injured list sometime in September as long as he can avoid setbacks.
