Jun 21 2025Manager Terry Francona said that Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Saturday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter is stepping into the rotation spot vacated by left-hander Wade Miley (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The 35-year-old Suter has previously opened two games for the Reds, but since he'll be taking the hill on one day's rest and has maxed out at 3.2 innings and 63 pitches over his 23 appearances on the season, he's unlikely to stay in the game for more than one turn through the batting order. The Reds are expected to call up right-hander Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville prior to Saturday's game, and he could be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief once Suter exits the contest.
Jun 13 2025The Reds activated Suter from the bereavement list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter missed the final two games of the Reds' series in Cleveland but is back for the start of their set in Detroit. The lefty holds a 2.27 ERA and 20:5 K:BB over 31.2 innings this season.
Jun 10 2025The Reds placed Suter on the bereavement list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: By rule, Suter will miss the next 3-to-7 games. He's been replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Joe La Sorsa.
May 16 2025Suter will open Saturday's game against the Guardians, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Chase Petty will move into a bulk relief role Saturday while Suter takes on the first three batters of the game. The 35-year-old southpaw has been one of the most reliable arms on the Reds' pitching staff this season, logging a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 21.2 innings.
Apr 20 2025Suter took a no-decision Sunday at Baltimore. He struck out one over three scoreless innings while yielding three hits and no walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran southpaw was called upon to sub in for Carson Spiers (shoulder), who hit the injured list before this game. Suter was solid, generating six whiffs out of his 63 total pitches. With this effort, the 35-year-old now sports a 1.86 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 9.2 innings. Suter probably will not make another start, as Nick Lodolo (personal) should return soon to fill the empty rotation spot.
Nov 1 2024Suter signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Reds on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The deal includes a $3 million club option for 2026. Suter's previous contract included a $3.5 million club option for 2025, which the Reds bought out for $250,000 before agreeing to terms on his latest deal. The 35-year-old southpaw was an effective middle reliever for the Reds in 2024, putting up a 3.15 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 65.2 innings.
Sep 4 2024Suter earned the save in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston, allowing one run on three hits over 3.1 innings. He struck out six. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: A Jon Singleton solo homer was the lone damage done off Suter, as the left-hander recorded the final 10 outs to earn the save in Wednesday's blowout victory. It's the first save of the year for Suter and just the second in his nine-year MLB career. Overall, Suter sports a 3.43 ERA with a 1.11 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB across 57.2 innings in a middle-relief role this season.
Sep 1 2024The Reds reinstated Suter (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The veteran left-hander is ready to rejoin Cincinnati after a three-game minor-league rehab assignment, during which he allowed one run on six hits with four strikeouts and no walks over 4.2 innings. Suter has a 3.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 41:10 K:BB over 51.1 innings this season, and he should return to a middle-relief role now that he's healthy.
Aug 22 2024Suter (shoulder) has been sent to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter has been shelved since late July due to a partial tear of his left teres major muscle but has been cleared for game action after completing a bullpen session earlier this week. The lefty reliever is expected to require at least three rehab appearances, so he could be looking at an early September return from the injured list.
Aug 20 2024Suter (shoulder) had a good bullpen session Monday in Toronto and could begin his rehab assignment by the end of the week, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. "The international pen was solid. Not unbelievable, but solid," Suter said. "Felt real good." ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been previously reported that Suter will need three appearances on his rehab assignment, which pushes a potential return date to early September.
Aug 19 2024Suter (shoulder) will need at least three rehab outings before being activated off the 15-day injured list, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter had a successful throwing session Friday and is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week. He's ahead of the original projected return from a partial tear of the left teres major muscle.
Aug 12 2024Suter (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Assuming that goes well, Suter will likely be cleared to begin a rehab assignment next week. It was initially looking like the left-hander would be out until September after he was diagnosed in late July with a partial tear of his left teres major muscle, but he's recovered more quickly than expected.
Aug 6 2024Suter (shoulder) has begun throwing, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter, who suffered a partial tear of his teres major muscle July 19, was expected to be shut down from throwing for up to six weeks, but he's way ahead of that schedule. It's unclear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment.
Jul 20 2024The Reds placed Suter on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a partial tear of his left teres major muscle. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter's shoulder forced him to make an early exit from Friday's contest after just seven pitches, and he'll now be held out through the beginning of August at least. Casey Legumina was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.
Jul 19 2024Suter was removed from Friday's game against the Nationals due to left shoulder tightness, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter was only able to get through two-thirds of an inning on seven pitches before exiting alongside a trainer. The Reds will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of the issue, though the 34-year-old southpaw may be unavailable out of the bullpen for at least a game or two so that his shoulder can recover.
Jun 10 2024Suter will open Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter didn't make it through the first inning in his last stint as an opener, allowing one hit while recording two outs before being lifted May 26 against the Dodgers. Nick Martinez figures to be an option to follow Suter on Tuesday considering he hasn't pitched since Friday, needing only 11 pitches to get through a scoreless seventh inning against the Cubs.
May 25 2024Suter will serve as the opening pitcher in Sunday's game versus the Dodgers, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter had some extended relief appearances earlier this season, but he pitched an inning Friday and hasn't lasted more than one frame in any of his last seven outings, so this will strictly be an opener situation. The presumption, while not confirmed, is that Nick Martinez will eat most of the innings as a bulk reliever.
May 16 2024Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Nick Lodolo (groin) landing on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, the Reds had a hole in the rotation for Thursday's series opener in Los Angeles. Suter has prior starting experience in the majors and previously worked three-plus innings on two occasions this season, but after making one-inning relief appearances Monday and Tuesday, Suter is unlikely to work more than one or two frames Thursday before exiting the contest. Nick Martinez will be available on three days' rest and is expected to work in bulk relief once Suter exits the contest, making Martinez the more attractive target for streaming purposes.
Apr 22 2024Suter allowed four hits and one walk while striking out two over 3.1 scoreless relief innings in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter entered the contest with two outs in the first inning after starter Frankie Montas took a comebacker off his right forearm. Suter's been useful out of the Cincinnati bullpen, having not allowed a run in eight of nine outings. In six of those appearances, he's thrown multiple innings. The left-hander owns a 2.30 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 15.2 innings.
Apr 3 2024Suter allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and one walk over one-third of an inning in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter entered when the game was still in doubt -- the Reds trailed by two runs entering the seventh inning -- but he was hurt by an Elly De La Cruz throwing error and later a Bryce Harper grand slam. The lefty reliever had scoreless outings in his first three appearances before Tuesday.
Jan 11 2024Suter agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Reds on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The deal comes with a $3.5 million club option ($500K buyout) for 2025. Suter goes from the worst pitcher's park in baseball (Coors Field) to the second- or third-worst pitcher's park in Cincinnati. He has logged an ERA under 3.80 in five consecutive seasons and seven of his eight big-league seasons. Suter is one of the better middle relievers to pick up wins with, but he has one career save.
Oct 1 2023Suter will start Sunday's game against the Twins, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The soft-tossing lefty will open Sunday's series finale instead of previously scheduled starter Chase Anderson (undisclosed). Suter has a 3.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB across 68.1 innings and will attempt to finish his contract year on a positive note.
Sep 16 2023Suter will be the first pitcher on the mound for the Rockies in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Rockies haven't officially termed Suter an "opener," nor have they announced which reliever will handle the bulk innings behind him, but it's almost certain that's what this will be, rather than a conventional start. Suter does have starting experience from early in his career, but he hasn't thrown more than two innings in any of his 51 appearances this season.
Jul 19 2023Suter (oblique) was activated from the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter wound up missing nearly a month of action with a strained oblique but is ready to go after making one rehab appearance. The veteran southpaw has been excellent out of the Rockies' bullpen this season with a 2.81 ERA in 31 appearances.
Jun 23 2023Suter (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter sustained an oblique injury in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds and he will now be sidelined for a couple weeks while on the injured list. Right-handed reliever Noah Davis was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday to replace Suter on the major-league roster.
Jun 21 2023Suter sustained an oblique injury during his relief appearance in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Reds, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injury didn't seem to affect Suter from a performance standpoint, as he worked around a base hit to turn in a scoreless eighth inning. However, Suter seemingly tweaked his side at some point during the game, and he's now likely to get at least a couple of days off before the Rockies assess whether he's fit to rejoin the bullpen during the club's upcoming weekend series with the Angels. Suter can be viewed as day-to-day for the time being, though he still appears to be a candidate for the 15-day injured list.
May 18 2023Suter (2-0) earned the win in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Reds. He allowed one walk over one scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter has been excellent for the Rockies this season. The veteran left-hander has allowed just one run in his last 17.1 innings (12 appearances), lowering his ERA to 0.98 with a 0.98 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB. While Suter hasn't received a save opportunity this year, he could eventually work his way into the picture if Pierce Johnson or Daniel Bard struggle.
Nov 18 2022Suter agreed to terms with Colorado on Friday, signing a one-year, $3 million contract to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter played his seventh MLB campaign for the Brewers last season, pitching in 54 games as a reliever and posting a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 53:22 K:BB over 66.2 innings. He was claimed off waivers by the Rockies on Friday and quickly agreed to terms with the club for the 2023 campaign. Given Colorado's bullpen woes last year, Suter should begin next season in a high-leverage role, possibly as the primary setup man ahead of closer Daniel Bard.
Aug 17 2022Suter (4-3) tossed a scoreless 11th inning and picked up the win in Tuesday's victory over the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter allowed the Dodgers to take the lead in the top of the 11th, but he limited them to one run and wound up with the win when the Brewers pushed two runs across in the bottom of the frame. Suter has recorded three wins since the All-Star break, and although he allowed a run in three of his last four appearances, he owns a 1.86 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 9.2 innings over eight second-half appearances.
Jul 25 2022Suter tossed a scoreless inning of relief and picked up his third win of the season in Sunday's victory over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter recorded just one win over his first 27 appearances of the season, but he picked up his second Friday and wasted little time putting another on the board. Suter posted a 4.58 ERA and 1.33 WHIP prior to the All-Star break, but he has opened the second half with three scoreless frames over two appearances out of the Brewers' bullpen.
Jun 22 2022Suter tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter allowed runs in his first two appearances in June, but he has now gone four straight outings without ceding an earned run. After picking up the win a career-high 12 times last season, Suter has tallied just one win up to this point in 2022.
May 16 2022Suter (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter missed the Brewers' weekend series against the Marlins following the birth of his child, but he'll rejoin the club prior to Monday's series opener in Milwaukee against Atlanta. Over five appearances since the start of May, the southpaw has posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in five innings.
May 13 2022Suter was placed on the paternity list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter has pitched in three of the Brewers' last four games, and he allowed two hits and a walk while striking out four in 3.1 innings. The southpaw will be away from the team for 1-to-3 days following the birth of his child, while Jandel Gustave was recalled from Triple-A Nashville to provide additional bullpen depth in Suter's absence.
May 11 2022Suter struck out a batter and recorded his first hold of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter faced only one batter in Tuesday's contest, but he struck him out and helped the Brewers maintain a lead they would not relinquish. Suter's ratios are a bit bloated by the four earned runs he gave up over his first four appearances of the season, but he has gotten back on track, posting a 1.35 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 6.2 innings over his last six trips to the mound.
Apr 17 2022Suter (undisclosed) came on in relief during Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals, working around a hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After suffering a scare in Friday's 10-1 loss when he collided with the dugout railing, Suter was available out of the bullpen a day later. His clean relief appearance Saturday suggests that Suter avoided any injury as a result of Friday's incident.
Apr 16 2022Suter (undisclosed) said Saturday that he's feeling fine after exiting Friday's game against the Cardinals, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter exited Friday's matchup after colliding with the dugout railing, but he was making a case to remain in the game after the incident. While the exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss much time.
Apr 15 2022Suter left Friday's game against the Cardinals after colliding with the dugout railing, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter lobbied with his manager and training staff to stay in, which could indicate that he wasn't hurt all that badly, but the Brewers elected to take no chances with the team down nine runs. The exact nature of his injury and whether or not he'll need a trip to the injured list are not yet clear.
Mar 20 2022Suter (oblique) is scheduled to pitch in Sunday's spring game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter missed the NLDS due to a strained oblique, but he's back on the mound early in spring training. The fast-paced southpaw posted a 3.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 69:24 K:BB over 73.1 innings and recorded one save and eight holds last season.
Oct 8 2021Suter was left off the NLDS roster due to a minor right oblique strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's unclear how long the lefty will be sidelined or whether he'll be available if the Brewers advance to the NLCS. Having been left off Friday's roster, though, he's unavailable for the entirety of the series against Atlanta.
Sep 21 2021Suter (illness) gave up one run on one hit and one walk while recording zero strikeouts in one inning Monday against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While he was never placed on the injured list, Suter missed almost two weeks with an illness, but was able to return for the first game of this four-game series against St. Louis. The Brewers will want to get Suter back in a groove without overworking him over the final two weeks.
Sep 20 2021Suter hasn't pitched recently due to an illness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter hasn't made an appearance since Sept. 8, and manager Craig Counsell revealed Monday that the southpaw has been unavailable due to an illness. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he should currently be considered day-to-day.
Aug 15 2021Suter (12-5) struck out two in a perfect inning, earning the win Sunday versus Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw worked the fifth inning after Eric Lauer lasted only four innings in his return from the COVID-19 injured list. Suter kept Pittsburgh off the bases, and Milwaukee held onto a narrow 2-1 lead to the end of the game. As a multi-inning reliever, Suter has been particularly effective at snagging wins this year. He's added a save, six holds and seven blown saves while posting a 2.81 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 57:18 K:BB through 57.2 innings.
Aug 11 2021Suter picked up his first career save in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Josh Hader (COVID-19) out of action and both Devin Williams and Brad Boxberger pitching in the first game of the twin bill, manager Craig Counsell turned to Suter for the final four outs of the nightcap and the southpaw delivered. Fantasy players should not count on Suter tallying more than another save or two, but he is still providing value elsewhere, allowing just one earned run in 15.1 innings (0.59 ERA) while racking up three wins and posting a 1.04 WHIP over his last 12 trips to the mound.
Aug 7 2021Suter blew the save Saturday against the Giants, allowing a run on two hits in one inning of work. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter came on in the ninth to protect a 2-1 lead and secure the win for starter Brandon Woodruff, but Avisail Garcia misplayed Tommy La Stella's two-out fly ball into a run-scoring triple. It was the first earned run allowed by Suter since July 7, ending his streak of 10 consecutive scoreless appearances.
Aug 6 2021Suter (11-5) struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the win Friday versus San Francisco. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With 11 wins, Suter ranks first in the majors among relief pitchers. He successfully stranded the initial runner in the 10th inning Friday, and Milwaukee walked it off with a Rowdy Tellez single. Suter's 1.31 WHIP suggests he's gotten a bit lucky to maintain a 2.82 ERA through 54.1 innings, but he's emerged as a fairly reliable option in high-leverage situations.
Aug 4 2021Suter (10-5) allowed a hit and a walk with one strikeout in a scoreless inning, earning the win Wednesday over Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The southpaw kept Milwaukee within a run with a scoreless seventh inning, and Rowdy Tellez provided a three-run homer in the bottom half of the frame. Suter has been a fairly stable option in the middle innings this year with a 2.87 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB across 53.1 innings. He hasn't allowed an earned run since July 7, but he's yielded four unearned runs in his last 12 innings. The 31-year-old reliever has added six holds while taking six blown saves in 42 appearances.
Jul 7 2021Suter (8-4) took the loss in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out. He also hit a batter. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter allowed the first two batters he faced to reach before Jeff McNeil's walkoff two-run single completed the Mets' comeback. After a run of seven straight scoreless outings spanning 6.2 innings, Suter has given up three runs (two earned) in his last two appearances. For the year, he has a 3.70 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 41:15 K:BB, five holds and five blown saves through 41.1 innings.
May 11 2021Suter was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was out of his element in his last appearance, giving up three earned runs over 2.1 innings as a starter May 7 in Miami. Suter will work as a fireman out of the bullpen going forward. He logged a 2.70 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 16.2 innings over 12 appearances prior to that most recent outing.
May 8 2021Suter (calf) landed on the bereavement list Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter will be eligible to return as soon as Tuesday. It's unclear whether or not he's expected to do so, as he's also dealing with calf cramps after exiting his start Friday against the Marlins after just 2.1 innings.
May 7 2021Suter exited Friday's game against the Marlins due to right calf cramps, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter left Friday's spot start with a trainer after just 2.1 innings, but his calf issue likely won't force him to miss significant time. The left-hander will likely be available out of the bullpen in the near future.
May 6 2021Manager Craig Counsell said Suter would start Friday's series opener in Miami, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Milwaukee plans to treat the first game of its series with the Marlins as a bullpen day, so Suter shouldn't be expected to work much more than 2-to-3 innings in the start. Suter has been one of Mlwaukee's most reliable relievers this season, submitting a 2.70 ERA while striking out 15 in 16.2 innings.
Apr 24 2021Suter (2-1) picked up the win Saturday in a 4-3 victory over the Cubs, giving up two hits and a walk over two scoreless innings. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He entered the game in the fifth inning to replace Freddy Peralta with Milwaukee down 2-0, and Suter got the benefit of the Brewers' bats coming to life. The southpaw has a solid 2.63 ERA through 13.2 innings with an 11:3 K:BB, and he has two holds in nine appearances in addition to his two vultured wins this week.
Apr 21 2021Suter (1-1) was perfect in 1.1 innings of relief, striking out all four batters he faced to earn the win over the Padres on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter was lights out in relief Wednesday, having more control of his command in the Padres series compared to his previous outings against the Pirates and the Cubs. He fired 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing only one hit while striking out four in two games against the Padres. This brings the 31-year-old's ERA to 3.09 in 11.2 innings.
Mar 16 2021Suter (hand) is listed on the Brewers' pitching schedule for Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Once starting pitcher Josh Lindblom's day is done, Suter is expected to check into the game for his first appearance since March 8. The Brewers were just exercising some caution with Suter after he was struck in the hand by a comebacker in his previous outing. He remains on pace to be ready for Opening Day.
Mar 13 2021Suter (hand) will play catch Saturday and plans to stay on schedule in his preparations for Opening Day, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter was hit on the left hand by a comebacker during Friday's intrasquad scrimmage, but the injury is believed to be minor. Barring any setbacks, the injury shouldn't affect Suter's preparations for Opening Day, and the left-hander is expected to serve as a swingman for Milwaukee to begin the year.
Mar 12 2021Manager Craig Counsell said that he thinks Suter (hand) will be fine following his early exit in Friday's intrasquad scrimmage, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter will be evaluated again Saturday, but it appears as though he avoided a major injury after being hit on the left hand by a comeback Friday. If he's healthy for Opening Day, Suter should serve as a swingman for Milwaukee. after posting a 3.13 ERA and 38:5 K:BB over 31.2 innings last year.
Oct 1 2020Suter gave up three earned runs on three hits and five walks in 1.2 innings Wednesday in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Dodgers. He took the loss. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter needs to get by on command and deception, and the five walks, two of which were with the bases loaded, were essentially a sign that he would rather give up one run at a time than let the Dodgers blow the game completely open. The rest of the Brewers relievers held up their end of the bargain, as the Brewers outscored the Dodgers after Suter exited, but Suter had already given up the deciding runs in a 4-2 loss. He probably won't pitch again in this series.
Sep 29 2020Suter will start Wednesday against the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The injury to Corbin Burnes (oblique) will force Milwaukee to look outside its usual rotation for the playoff opener, and Suter will receive the starting nod. The left-hander made four spot starts throughout the season, allowing two runs on six hits with 16 strikeouts and four walks over 13 innings. Suter's highest pitch count of the season was 59 pitches in his last appearance Sept. 25, but the Brewers could decide to ride him a bit longer Wednesday since he already won't be available for the next two games in the series.
Sep 26 2020Suter didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, allowing two hits and a walk over four scoreless innings in a 3-0 win. He struck out four. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In his longest outing of the year, Suter tossed 59 pitches (36 strikes) before handing things over to the bullpen. The southpaw likely won't pitch again this season, leaving him with a 3.13 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 38:5 K:BB through 31.2 innings over 16 appearances (four starts).
Sep 24 2020Suter will start Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter has not eclipsed three innings of work while serving as a spot starter and reliever this year, so expect a similar workload for the southpaw Friday. Josh Lindblom will take the ball for the nightcap.
Sep 16 2020Suter allowed two hits and a pair of walks while striking out three over three scoreless innings in a no-decision in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter had another good turn as an opener -- for the second straight outing, he posted three scoreless innings. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 3.12 with a 1.12 WHIP and 33 strikeouts across 26 innings this season. Three of his 14 appearances have been as an opener, and Suter also sees work in long relief at times.
Sep 15 2020Suter will start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 31-year-old made an spot start in place of Brett Anderson (hip) over the weekend and delivered three scoreless innings with six strikeouts, and he'll receive the starting nod again during Milwaukee's second twin bill in three days. Suter threw 46 pitches during that outing and is likely to have a similar workload Wednesday. The quick-working southpaw has a 3.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB through 23 innings this season.
Sep 13 2020Suter worked three scoreless frames while taking a no-decision in his start Saturday in the Brewers' 4-2 loss to the Cubs. He struck out six and gave up a base hit and no walks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Brewers summoned Suter to start on short notice after Brett Anderson (hip) was scratched from the outing. Considering the circumstances, Suter likely fared even better than Milwaukee could have hoped, as he induced 10 swinging strikes in just 46 pitches. Milwaukee is listing Anderson as day-to-day for the time being, but if he's forced to miss more time, Suter could get the chance to stretch out a little more and make another start or two before the regular season draws to a close.
Sep 12 2020Suter will start Saturday's game against the Cubs, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter will step in to make the start Saturday in place of Brett Anderson, who was scratched due to right hip tightness. Manager Craig Counsell said that he expects the team to utilize a bullpen game, so it's unlikely that Suter will last very long, especially since he hasn't pitched more than three innings in any of his appearances this year.
Sep 5 2020Suter threw two scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Friday's victory over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As expected, Suter returned to the bullpen after making a spot start earlier in the week. Suter gave up four earned runs over his first two outings of the season, but he allowed the same number in 15.1 innings over his last nine outings and also posted an 18:1 K:BB and 0.91 WHIP over the same span.
Aug 31 2020Suter gave up two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out three over three innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Erik Gonzalez hit a two-run homer against Suter, but the southpaw was otherwise solid in his spot start. The 31-year-old has compiled a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 21 strikeouts across 17.2 innings this season. Suter will likely return to a bullpen role going forward -- his nine previous appearances this year came in relief.
Aug 26 2020Suter pitched the seventh inning of Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Reds and struck out all three batters he faced. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter allowed his first runs since July 28 his last time out, but he got right back on track Tuesday, needing just 14 pitches to get through his lone inning. Suter is not being used in a fantasy-friendly role, but he allowed just two runners to cross the plate over his last 10.1 frames (1.74 ERA) and owns a stellar 18:1 K:BB over 14.2 innings this season.
Aug 10 2020Suter picked up his second win of the season in Sunday's victory over the Reds. He tossed two innings and allowed three hits in the contest. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter allowed two earned runs in each of his first two outings of the season, but he been far better since, tossing two scoreless innings in each of his last two appearances while giving up four hits and posting a 3:0 K:BB. He will continue holding down a multi-inning role out of the Brewers bullpen.
Jul 29 2020Suter gave up four runs, two earned, over 1.2 innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. He allowed three hits, hit a batter and posted a 2:1 K:BB in the contest. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter ended the 2019 season on a high note, winning the NL's Reliever of the Month award in September, but things have not gone nearly as well for him to kick off the 2020 campaign. Suter has tossed a total of 4.1 innings over two outings and has given up four earned runs while allowing eight runners to reach base. Last season's finish still presumably trumps this year's start, though, so expect Suter to remain manager Craig Counsell's preferred long-relief option for the time being.
Mar 22 2020Suter allowed five earned runs over five innings in three appearances this spring. He gave up nine hits and posted a 4:2 K:BB. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter worked primarily as a starter in 2017 and 2018, but he pitched exclusively in relief last September after recovering from Tommy John surgery and will remain in that role when the 2020 campaign begins. Suter was not particularly sharp this spring, but he was last season, giving up just one earned run over 18.1 innings (0.49 ERA) out of the bullpen. He will not be part of the late-inning mix, but he does figure to cover multiple innings frequently, which will help his chances of picking up wins.
Feb 16 2020Suter agreed to a two-year contract with the Brewers on Sunday, avoiding arbitration. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old's arbitration hearing was scheduled for Monday, but he's now officially under contract with the team through 2021. Suter underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2018, but he returned from the injured list when rosters expanded in September and had a 0.49 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB to go along with a 4-0 record over 18.1 innings. The left-hander has an outside chance at a rotation spot in spring training, but his success out of the bullpen last season provides him with some solid security for a roster spot.
Sep 25 2019Suter pitched three scoreless innings and picked up his fourth win of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Suter entered Tuesday in the fifth inning in relief of Adrian Houser, and although he found himself in jams in both his second and third frames, he kept the Reds off the scoreboard and picked up his fourth win in 17 days. Suter missed most of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he has been huge for the Brewers in September, allowing just one earned run in 17.1 innings (0.52 ERA) while posting a 0.58 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB.
Sep 19 2019Suter will not be allowed to pitch on back-to-back days this season, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It has been a pretty remarkable recovery for Suter, who underwent Tommy John surgery on Aug. 1, 2018 and has made it back in time to be a weapon out of the bullpen for the surging Brewers. He has asked to be allowed to pitch on back-to-back days, but manager Craig Counsell said it was "doctor's orders" to give him a rest day following every appearance. Suter, who last pitched Tuesday, has a 0.73 ERA, 0.41 WHIP, 10 strikeouts and two wins in 12.1 innings (six appearances) since being activated at the start of the month.
Sep 11 2019Suter (2-0) earned the win Wednesday at Miami after allowing one hit over three scoreless innings. He struck out two and walked none. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The quick-working lefty made quick work of the Marlins' order, needing only 35 pitches to work through the three frames. Suter joined the big-league roster at the start of September -- only 13 months removed from Tommy John surgery -- and has given up only one run on five hits with seven strikeouts and zero walks over his first 9.1 innings.

Jul 23 2018Suter has a torn UCL and will likely need Tommy John surgery, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.Suter left his start Sunday with forearm tightness. That diagnosis often portends a more serious issue, and it appears that it has in this case. If Suter does indeed need surgery, he will likely miss the entire 2019 season. The lefty had been having a mediocre season for Milwaukee, tossing 101.1 innings with a 4.80 ERA.
Jul 22 2018Manager Craig Counsell expects Suter to land on the 10-day disabled list after suffering a left forearm strain Sunday against the Dodgers, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Suter will undergo an MRI sometime in the near future to determine the extend of the injury, but he'll likely require a stint on the disabled list. He suffered the same injury earlier in the year, although he managed to return after missing just one outing.
Jul 22 2018Suter exited after three innings in Sunday's matchup against the Dodgers, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Suter appeared to be in noticeable discomfort after retiring the final batter in the third inning, and ended up going back to the clubhouse before eventually being relieved by Taylor Williams. It had not been a good outing for Suter prior to the exit, as he allowed six earned runs on eight hits, including two Matt Kemp home runs. This was just Suter's second start since coming off the DL due to forearm troubles, though it remains to be seen if that's the issue that has resurfaced. Consider Suter day-to-day in advance of his next start, which is scheduled for Friday against the Giants.
Jul 22 2018Suter was forced to exit Sunday's game due to left forearm tightness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.This at least partially explains why Suter had a difficult time commanding his fastball in Sunday's start, but is still a concerning bit of news for the Brewers. It's the same injury that caused a DL stint just a few weeks ago, and the left-hander was thought to be in the clear following his activation. At this time, it's unclear if Suter will require another DL stint, but he's looking shaky for Friday's start.
Jul 14 2018Suter (8-6) threw five innings and took the loss Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out three Pirates.Suter did allow a solo home run but limited damage otherwise. Unfortunately, Milwaukee allowed five runs over the final three frames. The finesse southpaw, who was returning after an absence caused by a forearm injury, has three quality starts in his last five outings and still may carry streamer utility in many mixed fantasy leagues despite his 4.39 ERA, considering his attractive command (7.4 K/9, 1.7 BB/9 through 19 appearances).
Jul 14 2018Suter (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday.As expected, Suter was activated ahead of Saturday's doubleheader after a short stint on the DL with a forearm injury. He is expected to start the nightcap against Pittsburgh, with the Brewers listing Chase Anderson as the Game 1 starter. Suter doesn't miss many bats (7.5 K/9), but he's done well to limit the walks and the team context is a big plus in his favor.
Jul 13 2018Suter (forearm) will come off the 10-day disabled list and take the mound in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Manager Craig Counsell didn't specify which game Suter will pitch during Saturday's doubleheader, as Chase Anderson is scheduled to toe the rubber for the Brewers as well. This will mark Suter's first appearance since June 2 against the Twins.
Jul 12 2018Suter (forearm) said that his bullpen session Wednesday "went great" and that he "feels ready to pitch," Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Suter will be eligible to return from the 10-day DL this weekend, and with the Brewers set to play five games in four days against Pittsburgh starting Thursday, he will likely take the mound during one of those contests if its determined that he's fully healthy. Across 18 appearances (16 starts) this year, he's logged a 4.53 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 78 strikeouts in 93.1 innings.
Jul 10 2018Suter (forearm) could return as early as this weekend in Pittsburgh, the Associated Press reports.When Suter was placed on the disabled list last week, he played down the forearm tightness as a minor issue, so perhaps he could return still in the first half. If he does, it would likely come in Saturday's doubleheader in Pittsburgh. If not, Aaron Wilkerson would probably get another turn.
Jul 6 2018Suter was placed on the disabled list Friday with forearm tightness.The assignment was made retroactive to July 3, so there's at least a chance Suter is able to return before the All-Star break. Forearm tightness is sometimes the initial diagnoses that precedes a more serious injury, which could keep Suter out for far longer, though the severity of this particular case is not yet clear. Aaron Wilkerson was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs and will start in his place Saturday against the Braves.
Jul 3 2018Suter allowed five earned runs over five innings and did not factor into the decision in Monday's victory over the Twins.The five runs Suter served up were his most since April 21, but he still managed to go five innings for the 16th time in 16 starts this season. Suter's consistency has kept him in the rotation for the balance of the season, but his spot will be on the line whenever Zach Davies (shoulder) and/or Wade Miley (oblique) are ready to pitch for the big club. Neither will be good to go the next time through the rotation, though, which puts Suter on track to make his next start Saturday at home against the Braves.
Jun 27 2018Suter (8-5) took the loss Wednesday as the Brewers fell 5-4 to the Royals, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over six-plus innings while striking out six.The left-hander was locked in a 1-0 pitcher's duel with Danny Duffy through six innings and in line for another victory, but after serving up a solo shot to Mike Moustakas to begin the seventh, Suter then loaded the bases without recording an out and had to watch two of the runners he left behind cross the plate. The result snaps his three-game winning streak, but Suter and his 4.28 ERA will look to rebound Monday at home against the Twins.
Jun 21 2018Suter (8-4) allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out five across seven innings to earn the win Thursday against the Cardinals.Suter began the game inauspiciously, allowing a home run to Matt Carpenter on his first pitch. However, he went on to retire the next 12 batters he faced and got plenty of run support to record his eighth win of the season, good for third in the National League. After failing to pitch more than 5.2 innings through his first 12 starts this season, Suter has now gone seven innings in each of his past two outings.
Jun 20 2018Suter will not take the mound against Pittsburgh on Wednesday due to inclement weather, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.The Brewers have yet to release their plans for the rotation for this upcoming weekend, but it's expected that Suter will pitch the series opener versus the Cardinals on Thursday, per McCalvy. Look for the club to clear things up in the next couple hours.
Jun 20 2018Suter will pitch against St. Louis on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Manager Craig Counsell elected to push everyone in the rotation back a day following Wednesday's rainout. Suter has appeared in 15 games for the Brewers this season, accumulating a 4.30 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.
Jun 15 2018Suter (7-4) allowed one run on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts through seven innings to earn the win Friday against Philadelphia.Suter has been particularly good over his past six starts, a strech in which he is now 6-1 with a 3.24 ERA and 32 strikeouts against just seven walks over 33.1 innings. He also continues to help his own cause at the plate, as he went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and two RBI to improve his batting line to a robust .222/.364/.444. Sure, you don't get offensive stats from pitchers in fantasy games, but every run he scores or knocks in helps him pick up wins, and that's a significant reason why Suter has found himself in the win column so often this season. This start also marked the first time Suter completed the sixth inning -- much less the seventh -- in 13 starts. He'll look to stay hot Wednesday against the Pirates.
Jun 9 2018Suter (6-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk in the 12-3 win over Philadelphia. He recorded five strikeouts.Suter's only real blemish of the day was a three-run home run in the third inning by Rhys Hoskins. The 28-year-old left-hander has yet to work a full six innings in a start this season, but is usually a solid bet to go five-plus innings while giving up a few runs. Suter lines up to face the Phillies again next Friday in Milwaukee.
Jun 3 2018Suter (5-4) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks across five innings while taking the loss Sunday against the White Sox. He struck out six.Suter was spotted a lead in the fifth inning, but he immediately gave up a run on a hit and two walks. He came back out for the sixth, but he allowed the leadoff man to reach and later watched from the dugout as the bullpen allowed his man to score. Suter pitched respectably overall and has now allwoed two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. He's also posted a 24:5 K/BB during that span and will look to continue his recent success next weekend against the Phillies.
May 28 2018Suter (5-3) picked up the win Monday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on five hits across five innings while striking out six.Suter was through four scoreless innings before serving up a pair of homers -- a two-run shot to Yairo Munoz and a solo homer to Matt Carpenter -- in the fifth frame. The Brewers provided plenty of run support, and Suter helped out with a two-RBI single of his own, allowing the southpaw to rack up his third straight win, a three-start stretch during which he owns a 3.31 ERA and 18:3 K:BB across 16.1 innings. Suter will look to keep things rolling in his next start, which will come on the road against the White Sox.
May 23 2018Suter (4-3) picked up the win Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on four hits across 5.2 innings while striking out six.It was another solid start from Suter, who has now allowed just three runs while striking out 12 batters across 11.1 innings in his past two outing. Aside from a pair of solo shots in the second inning courtesy of Paul Goldschmidt and John Ryan Murphy, the southpaw was able to keep the Diamondbacks in check before exiting in the sixth frame with a 8-2 lead. With Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta heading to the minors, Suter looks poised to stick in the rotation for the time being. He'll take a 4.56 ERA into his next start, which will come at home against the Cardinals.
May 21 2018Manager Craig Counsell said Suter will start Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Suter will stick in the rotation for at least one more turn with Zach Davies (shoulder) not expected to return until Thursday (at the earliest). The 28-year-old owns a 5.05 ERA across eight starts (41 innings) this season. With Chase Anderson (illness) back from the disabled list and Davies not far behind him, Suter could be headed back to the bullpen after Wednesday's outing.
May 18 2018Suter (3-3) allowed one run on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts through 5.2 innings in a win Friday over the Twins.With Chase Anderson and Zach Davies still nursing injuries, the Brewers needed to count on Suter to make a spot start, and the 28-year-old delivered. Despite averaging just 88.2 mph on it, Suter was able to lean on his fastball, which generated seven swinging strikes and seven of his 10 outs in play. Suter has yet to record a quality start this season, but he has now made eight spot starts of at least five innings and has allowed three runs or fewer five times. Don't expect him to stay in the rotation past the returns of Anderson and Davies, both of whom are nearing full health, but Suter adds valuable depth to the Brewers with his ability to step up in a pinch.
May 14 2018Suter will start Friday against the Twins, Adam McCalvy of ESPN.com reports.The Brewers have been going with a four-man rotation due to injuries lately, but Suter will need to make another start Friday with both Chase Anderson and Zach Davies out of action. Suter allowed four runs on two home runs his last time out May 12 at Coors Field. He'll get a chance to rectify things at a better pitchers' park in Minnesota, but Suter owned a 4.86 ERA driven by five home runs allowed in his eight prior appearances, so there's no guarantee the change of scenery will help Friday night.
May 12 2018Suter will start Saturday against the Rockies after Chase Anderson was scratched due to illness.Suter will be pitching on three days' rest, having thrown 4.2 innings of relief Tuesday. On the season, the southpaw has a 4.86 ERA in 37 innings, striking out just 17.3 percent of batters while walking a mere 4.9 percent.
May 12 2018Suter (2-3) took the loss to the Rockies on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits -- including two home runs -- in five innings. He struck out two and walked one.Called upon to replace Chase Anderson (illness) on short notice, Suter struggled in a tough setting. Trevor Story was the thorn in his side, accounting for all four runs against Suter with two homers and an RBI double. With Anderson joining Wade Miley (oblique) on the disabled list, Suter will presumably stay in the rotation and start against the Twins next weekend. His middling K-rate gives him a fairly hard cap in the fantasy game.
May 10 2018Suter is penciled in to start Sunday against the Rockies, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.With Wade Miley (oblique) landing on the disabled list and Zach Davies (shoulder) suffering a slight setback in his recovery, Suter will be called up to rejoin the Brewers' rotation for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies. The 28-year-old owns a 4.86 ERA across 37 innings this season, including six starts and a pair of relief appearances. It's unclear if Suter will head back to a relief role or stick in the rotation following Sunday's start, but with Miley expected to be out for an extended period of time, the southpaw could stick in the rotation as his replacement if he pitches well initially.
May 9 2018Suter likely ranks as the leading candidate to rejoin the Milwaukee rotation after Wade Miley (oblique) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Suter was the star of Milwaukee's 3-2 win over Cleveland on Tuesday after entering the game when Miley was forced to depart with a right oblique strain with one out in the first inning. The lefty, who had moved to the bullpen in late April to accommodate Miley's entry into the rotation, scattered two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five in 4.2 innings and delivered a 433-foot homer off Corey Kluber that proved to be the winning run. That performance in long relief should give Suter the leg up over the likes of Triple-A Colorado Springs starters Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta, who McCalvy also cites as potential rotation replacements. Since Miley is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, Suter would likely have some leash in a starting role if he pitches well, though he would line up for a difficult initial outing Sunday in Colorado.
Apr 29 2018Suter will transition to a bullpen role after Wade Miley was added to the starting rotation.Suter put together a solid start Friday against the Cubs, allowing just two runs on five hits and one walk. However, the Brewers had a decision to make with Wade Miley and chose to add him to the starting rotation rather than allowing him to opt out and play elsewhere. As a result, Suter will head to the bullpen where he can provide long relief when needed.
Apr 27 2018Suter (1-2) did not factor in the decision as he struck out three batters over five innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs.Suter looked to be in for a long afternoon as he gave up two runs on four hits in the first inning, but allowed only two baserunners over his final four innings. The 28-year-old's next start is slated for Wednesday at Cincinnati, and he carries an unattractive 5.34 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across 30.1 innings (six starts) with 22 strikeouts.
Apr 21 2018Suter (1-2) escaped with a no-decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Marlins, allowing five runs on eight hits -- including two home runs -- and a walk over five innings while striking out four.The left-hander threw 56 of 87 pitches for strikes in the lackluster outing, and Suter has yet to complete six innings in any of his five starts so far this season, posting a 5.68 ERA and 19:6 K:BB through 25.1 innings. He'll get a potentially tough matchup Friday on the road against the Cubs.
Apr 16 2018Suter (1-2) allowed three runs on six hits over five innings with four strikeouts in a loss Monday to the Reds.Suter has been steady for the Brewers, allowing between one and four runs and recording either 15 or 16 outs in each of his four starts thus far. That's all the Brewers are asking from him, but it makes him a tough sell as a fantasy asset, as even when he pitches well enough to win, he may not last long enough to factor in the decision. He was singled to death on Monday, as he didn't walk a batter and he gave up just one extra-base hit, a double, but it wasn't enough to keep the floodgates opening in a three-run second inning.
Apr 11 2018Suter allowed one earned run over 5.1 innings but did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals. He allowed four hits and posted a 2:1 K:BB.Suter had little trouble with the Cardinals' lineup the first two times through the batting order, but the wheels came off a bit the third time through, and he was ultimately saddled with an earned run and a no-decision when a runner he allowed to reach base prior to his exit crossed home plate. Suter has not been particularly sharp to open the season, but Tuesday's outing was his best of the season thus far. His next start is likely to come Monday against the Reds at Miller Park.
Apr 6 2018Suter (1-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits, striking out five and walking three in Milwaukee's 8-0 blowout defeat.Suter got the win on the strength of his offense in his first start of the season against the Padres but he struggled in this one and ended up getting tagged with the loss after giving up four earned runs to the Cubs. He only had 102.4 big-league innings to his name coming into this season and while his 3.37 ERA in that time is nothing to sneeze at, his shaky pair of outings to start 2018 mean he's a fantasy dart-throw until he displays some consistency.
Mar 31 2018Suter (1-0) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Padres, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings.While he only issued the one free pass, Suter wasn't particularly sharp in his first outing of the season as he threw only 49 of 83 pitches for strikes, resulting in an early exit. The left-hander will look to tighten things up when he next takes the mound Thursday at home against the Cubs.
Mar 24 2018Suter earned a spot in the Brewers' starting rotation and will face San Diego in the club's opening series.Suter beat out Brandon Woodruff for the fourth spot in Milwaukee's rotation, as the team has seemingly elected to move forward with a four-man group to start the campaign. The Brewers also announced that Yovani Gallardo has not made the team and optioned Junior Guerra to Triple-A Colorado Springs. Over the course of 22 big-league appearances in 2017, Suter posted a 3.42 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 64:22 K:BB in 81.2 innings.
Mar 16 2018Suter continues to compete for a spot in the Brewers' starting rotation, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.It appeared early this spring that Suter would grab a spot in the Brewers' starting rotation coming out of spring training, but the chances of him doing so have decreased the last couple weeks with several other pitchers -- Wade Miley, Junior Guerra, and Brandon Woodruff -- making strong cases as well and the Brewers considering opening the season with just a four-man rotation. The Brewers view Suter as the ultimate swing pitcher, which bodes well for him over the course of the campaign, but could hurt him early on.
Mar 1 2018Suter has a "very good shot" to make the rotation out of spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Per manager Craig Counsell, the Brewers plan to carry two lefties in their bullpen to start the season, namely Boone Logan and Josh Hader. This implies that Suter is exclusively battling for a rotation spot and is expected to get that spot based off earlier comments saying he had a leg up on a roster spot. This development would make Suter the fifth starter in the Brewers' rotation, but a confirmation of this will likely come closer to the regular season.
Feb 15 2018Suter reportedly has a "leg up" on breaking camp with the major league roster even if he doesn't win a rotation spot, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Previous reports only suggested that the southpaw would be in the mix for a rotation spot this spring, leaving his status uncertain if he were unable to claim a starting gig. It seems like manager Craig Counsell values Suter as a long reliever as well and likes what he saw from him last season. The 28-year-old produced a 3.42 ERA while exhibiting excellent control, although his strikeout rate leaves much to be desired. The vote of confidence is certainly a good sign, but he has little value in most fantasy formats unless he's able to claim a starting role.
Jan 29 2018Manager Craig Counsell said Sunday that Suter will compete for a role in the Brewers' starting rotation during spring training, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Assuming the Brewers don't fill out their rotation -- via free agent signings or trades -- prior to spring training, Suter will get a chance to reprise his role in the Brewers' starting rotation in 2018. While the soft-tossing southpaw didn't blow anyone away in 2017 (7.1 K/9), he held his own in 14 starts for the big club, posting a 3.45 ERA across 70.1 innings of work. He also proved plenty effective against same-handed hitters, holding lefties to a paltry .192 average in 85 plate appearances. It's unclear what the Brewers will opt to do with Suter if he's unable to lock down a rotation spot in spring; he could stay stretched out as a starter in the minors or work out of the big-league bullpen as a lefty specialist, something he has done in the past.
Sep 28 2017Suter allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four batters through five innings during Thursday's win over Cincinnati. He didn't factor into the decision.Suter kept the Reds in check and entered the sixth inning with a 6-1 lead. Unfortunately, he was pulled after failing to retire a single batter in the sixth frame and was charged with two more runs to land the no-decision. The 28-year-old lefty pitched well when given an opportunity this year, and unless he receives a surprise relief appearance, Suter will finish 2018 with a 3.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 7.1 K/9 through 81.2 innings.
Sep 23 2017Suter allowed one earned run over 5.1 innings in Saturday's victory over the Cubs. He gave up six hits, posted a 2:0 K:BB in the contest, and did not factor into the decision.Suter was brilliant for the second stat in a row, and he lowered his ERA on the season to 3.29 with Saturday's effort. Manager Craig Counsell has capped Suter's innings of late, but if he pitches like he did Saturday, he should still have a chance to pick up a win in what figures to be his final start of the regular season next week against the Reds.
Sep 18 2017Suter (3-2) tossed five scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the Pirates, allowing five hits with no walks and four strikeouts.Suter was excellent in this one, scattering five singles and going without a walk for the first time in eight appearances. He pounded the strike zone, but he was removed with a lead and just 64 pitches under his belt, curbing what could've been an even better outing. It appears the club is content to limit. Suter's workload down the stretch, but he continues to pitch well and will get the ball again Saturday against the Cubs.
Sep 12 2017Suter allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings in Tuesday's win over the Pirates. He did not factor into the decision.With Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Suter was called upon to eat up a few innings Tuesday in what was a scheduled bullpen game. The southpaw wasn't overly effective in his three innings of work, but he did just enough to help his team establish an early lead, as the Brewers were able to put up a four-spot against Gerrit Cole in the third inning to take the 28-year-old out of the loss column. Suter is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Sunday against the Marlins, though that could change, as manager Craig Counsell has been mixing things up in the rotation recently.
Sep 9 2017Manager Craig Counsell said Suter will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.With Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) done for the season, Suter will step into the Brewers' rotation for the time being. Suter owns a respectable 3.63 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 10 starts (52 innings) this season, so he's expected to start in Nelson's place the rest of the way, though that hasn't been confirmed yet. The 28-year-old hasn't tossed more than 43 pitches in an outing since returning from the disabled list at the beginning of September, so he'll likely be limited in his return to the rotation.
Sep 3 2017Suter pitched three scoreless innings with two strikeouts during Sunday's win over Washington. He didn't factor into the decision.This was just a spot start for Suter, and it was actually his first appearance since Aug. 12, as he had been on the disabled list with a left rotator cuff strain. The 28-year-old southpaw projects to pitch out of the bullpen moving forward, so his fantasy value is limited.
Sep 2 2017Suter has been confirmed as Sunday's starter against the Nationals.He will square off against Edwin Jackson in the series finale. This is likely just a spot start for Suter, who will head to the bullpen and serve as a long man until the Brewers have need of a sixth starter again. Suter has a 3.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 59.1 innings in the majors this season.
Sep 1 2017Suter (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day DL on Friday.Suter has been out for almost three weeks now while recovering from a left rotator cuff strain. Prior to landing on the DL, the left-hander struggled through three rough August outings, following an exceptional month on July. There hasn't been word on when Suter's next start will come, but there's a chance that he will take the mound for Sunday's series finale against Washington.
Aug 31 2017Suter (shoulder) said he felt great after Wednesday's minor-league rehab start and is ready to be activated, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Suter looked sharp in his lone rehab start for Low-A Wisconsin on Wednesday, tossing three scoreless innings while allowing just two baserunners, and his next start should be for the Brewers. It's still unclear when Suter will rejoin the rotation, but it could be as early as Sunday with Matt Garza having his turn skipped. He only tossed his 56 pitches in his rehab appearance, so he'll likely be working with a pitch limit if he ends up returning to the rotation over the weekend. The 28-year-old has compiled a 3.79 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 59.1 innings with the big club this season.
Aug 30 2017Suter (shoulder) will make a rehab start Wednesday for Low-A Wisconsin, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.It's expected that Suter will only require one rehab appearance before returning from the 10-day disabled list. If Suter is in fact activated following the outing with the Low-A club, he probably wouldn't be available for the Brewers until next week, at which point he could reclaim a spot in the rotation. The Brewers plan to recall Brandon Woodruff from Triple-A Colorado Springs when a fifth starter is required Saturday against the Nationals, but if he falters in that start, Suter could end up replacing him the following week. Matt Garza, who has submitted a 6.32 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in eight starts since the All-Star break, is another starter who could be at risk of surrendering his rotation spot to Suter.
Aug 29 2017Suter (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the DL when rosters expand Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.He is heading out on a rehab assignment Tuesday to and undisclosed affiliate after not having pitched in a game since Aug. 12 due to an ailing shoulder. Brandon Woodruff is expected to occupy the fifth spot in the rotation at the start of the month, so Suter will likely work out in the bullpen. However, if the Brewers need a sixth starter at any point over the rest of the season, Suter would be the favorite to step in. He posted a 3.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 59.1 innings with the big club prior to the injury.
Aug 26 2017Suter (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session Saturday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.This will mark Suter's second bullpen since landing on the DL with a left rotator cuff strain, and if everything goes well, he should be activated once rosters expand Sept. 1. He struggled in three August starts before landing on the shelf, but he still owns a 3.65 ERA and 37:12 K:BB in eight starts since entering the Brewers' rotation at the beginning of July.
Aug 23 2017Suter (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Barring any setbacks, Suter is on track to be activated in late August or early September. Suter had been struggling prior to hitting the DL, as he'd allowed 13 runs over his previous three starts (14.1 innings).
Aug 21 2017Suter (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Suter was diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain August 13. If all goes well on Wednesday, expect the Brewers to swiftly send him on a rehab assignment so he can make an appearance before the impending end of the minor league season. Barring an aggravation, he should return in late August.
Aug 13 2017Suter was placed on the 10-day disabled list Sunday with a left rotator cuff strain.The diagnosis of a left rotator cuff strain may help explain Suter's recent string of poor starts. After posting a 1.50 ERA over five starts in July, the soft-tossing lefty has been roughed up for 13 total runs over his first three outings during the month of August. A timeline for his eventual return has not been revealed, while it's possible that Suter or Brandon Woodruff could be bumped from the starting rotation when Chase Anderson (oblique) returns from the DL in the next week or two.
Aug 12 2017Rodney gave up two runs on four hits in a non-save situation while failing to finish the ninth inning Saturday against the Cubs.While this was not a save situation for Rodney, he created one for David Hernandez, who came in to get the final out for his first save of the season. Rodney is certainly not the model closer, and he is not the best reliever in the Diamondbacks' bullpen, but it's hard to envision this shaky outing in a non-save situation leading to any kind of role change. This performance snapped a streak of eight straight scoreless appearances.
Aug 7 2017Suter allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters through just four innings during Monday's loss to Minnesota. He didn't factor into the decision.Even after allowing five earned runs through just 5.1 innings to the Cardinals in his previous outing, Suter entered Monday's game with a 2.93 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 through seven starts. However, Monday's short outing is definitely another concerning showing. It's probably best to be selective with his matchups moving forward. Suter projects to make his next start against the Reds at Miller Park.
Aug 2 2017Suter (2-2) surrendered five runs on eight hits with one walk and seven strikeouts over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals.Most of the damage against Suter came in the sixth inning, as Yadier Molina led off the frame with his second home run of the game and Kolten Wong drove in a pair of inherited runners with a double off newly acquired reliever Jeremy Jeffress. The 27-year-old lefty still has a solid 3.04 ERA in 50.1 innings, and has earned the right to make his seventh consecutive start Monday in Minnesota.
Jul 29 2017Suter (2-1) scattered four hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings in Friday's 2-1 win over the Cubs. He struck out five.The lefty outdueled fellow southpaw Jose Quintana, firing 54 of 82 pitches for strikes before handing things over to the bullpen. Suter has been a revelation in July, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB in 30 innings over five starts, and while Matt Garza (leg) and Chase Anderson (oblique) are both set to rejoin the rotation over the next couple of weeks, it's hard to imagine Suter losing his spot given his current form. He'll next take the mound Wednesday at home against the Cardinals.
Jul 22 2017Suter (1-1) allowed one run on five hits while striking out five across six innings, but received no decision Saturday against the Phillies.Suter had a six-run lead before allowing a solo homer in the fifth inning, but his bullpen blew a huge lead, costing him his second victory of the season. He's yet to allow more than two runs in any of his four starts, and he's been an excellent addition to fantasy squads with his 2.84 ERA. He'll make his next start Friday against the Cubs.
Jul 17 2017Suter allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.2 innings in a no-decision Monday against the Pirates. He struck out two.Suter cruised through four innings, but he allowed two runs on five hits in the fifth,laboring at times before he was removed with two outs. While one tough inning cut his night short, the 27-year-old pitched well for the most part, with a 66 percent first-strike percentage and six groundball outs during his time on the mound. Suter delivered two consecutive quality starts in a pair of outings prior to the All-Star break and should keep hold of his place in the rotation as he takes a respectable 3.09 ERA into Saturday's matchup against the Phillies.
Jul 8 2017Suter (1-1) allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings, but didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Yankees.Suter had a 3-0 lead going into the seventh inning before he gave up a pair of runs, and although he successfully outdueled Luis Severino, the bullpen blew the lead in the ninth-inning to keep him from earning his second victory. With his second-consecutive solid outing, it'll likely ensure that he continues to make starts while Chase Anderson (oblique) misses time on the disabled list for the near future. He'll make his next start at a time yet to be determined after the All-Star break.
Jul 3 2017Suter (1-1) allowed one unearned run on four hits and a walk across six innings in Monday's win over the Orioles. He struck out eight.Suter dominated in this one, throwing first-pitch strikes to 15 of 22 batters while inducing 19 swinging strikes while staying in the zone at a 69 percent clip. He scattered baserunners for the most part and was only scored upon after a man reached third on an error in the third inning. Suter went six innings for the first time in his big league career, notching a career high in strikeouts and pitches thrown as well. He seems to have earned a longer look in the rotation and will take a strong 3.00 ERA into Saturday's matchup with the Yankees.
Jul 3 2017Manager Craig Counsell said Suter will make another start for the injured Chase Anderson (oblique), Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.Suter earned himself another turn in the rotation after tossing a gem in Monday's spot start. He registered a career-high eight strikeouts and allowed just four hits and a walk across six innings of one-run (unearned) ball. His next matchup won't be easy, however, as he's scheduled to face the Yankees in New York on Saturday.
Jul 2 2017Suter will start Monday's game against the Orioles.The Brewers had a couple uninspiring options to choose from, but with Paolo Espino getting used in relief Sunday, Suter became the clear choice. Suter has a 7.07 ERA in three career big-league starts (14 innings). He has the stuff to succeed as a reliever (1.59 career ERA), but really struggles to turn a lineup over multiple times.
Jun 21 2017Suter was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Wednesday.With Wily Peralta landing on the disabled list with a calf strain, Suter was added to the roster to take his place in the bullpen. Suter has already seen some time with the Brewers this season, compiling a 5.25 ERA and 7:5 K:BB in 12 innings (4.2 as a starter). He'll serve in a long relief role out of the Brewers' bullpen.
Jun 13 2017Suter will start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.Suter will start in place of Brandon Woodruff, who was a late scratch with a tight hamstring. While Suter has worked as a starter for Triple-A Colorado Springs, he has only featured out of bullpen for the Brewers this season. The southpaw, who owns a 4.91 ERA in 7.1 major-league innings this season, will matchup against Lance Lynn in his first start of the season.
Jun 13 2017Suter was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs to serve as the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.The 27-year-old lefty has been up and down a couple times already this season, and this latest appearance with the big-league club figures to be a short stint. He has a 4.91 ERA in 7.1 innings in the big leagues and a 4.11 ERA in 35 innings at Triple-A. Look for him to serve as the long man if either of Tuesday's starters (Brandon Woodruff and Jimmy Nelson) fail to go deep into their starts.
Jun 13 2017Suter (0-1) allowed three runs on five hits and one walk during Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals. He struck out two.Suter, who was a late fill-in for Brandon Woodruff in this one, cruised until the fifth inning, when he allowed three runs on four hits before he was lifted with two outs. He pitched quite well until seemingly wearing down, throwing 68 percent of his pitches for strikes and inducing nine groundball outs. Suter now owns an inauspicious 5.25 ERA this season at the big league level and seems likely to rejoin Triple-A Colorado Springs, but perhaps this outing will keep him in contention to start again if another emergency situation arises.
May 15 2017Suter was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday.With Jhan Marinez booted off the 40-man roster, the Brewers needed another arm in Milwaukee, leading to Suter getting summoned to the big leagues. Although the southpaw acted primarily as a starter in the minor leagues, he'll likely fill a bullpen role in the majors, a role in which he produced four scoreless outings earlier in the season.
