Wrapping up strong spring Suarez has allowed one run on four hits with a 9:1 K:BB over five Grapefruit League innings this spring.

Impact The 35-year-old right-hander racked up 76 saves for San Diego with a 2.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 over the prior two seasons, but he'll begin his time in Atlanta as the top setup man for closer Raisel Iglesias. Suarez could still see ninth-inning action when Iglesias is unavailable, and if the incumbent struggles again early as he did in 2025, it wouldn't be a surprise if the two switched roles.

Delayed to camp Suarez will be a late arrival to spring training due to visa issues, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander joined Atlanta on a three-year, $45 million contract in December, but he won't be able to report to camp with the rest of the pitchers and catchers Tuesday. It's unclear when Suarez's travel troubles are expected to be resolved, but he's still got plenty of runway to work with to ramp up for Opening Day.
