Suarez (elbow) was reinstated from Single-A St. Lucie's 60-day injured list Aug. 23 and has given up five runs (three earned) on 10 hits and four walks while striking out eight across six innings over his first two outings of the season for the affiliate.
Suarez was sidelined to begin the 2022 season while recovering from 2021 Tommy John surgery. He was activated and reinserted into the Single-A rotation just under two weeks ago after he posted an 0.96 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 9.1 innings over his five rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Mets' Joander Suarez: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Suarez is recovering from Tommy John surgery, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear when the 22-year-old righty underwent the procedure, but he only made six starts at Low-A in 2021, so it may have been last summer. He's a notable name in a shallow Mets farm system, but he will most likely end up as a reliever given his shaky command and limited full-season experience for his age.
