Picks up fourth save Suarez earned the save Friday against the Rockies, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Suarez entered the game with a two-run lead after Atlanta scored two runs in the top of the ninth, and he needed 17 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. Even though Suarez gave up a one-out single to Brenton Doyle, he closed the door by retiring Edouard Julien and Mickey Moniak. Suarez has gone 4-for-4 in save chances this season and should continue to have elite fantasy upside as long as Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) remains on the injured list. Since converting his first save April 18 against the Phillies, Suarez has a 0.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP with a 6:1 K:BB in six innings and six appearances.

Converts third save Suarez earned the save Friday against the Phillies, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Suarez put the tying run on base with a walk to Trea Turner and Adolis Garcia single but was able to get Brandon Marsh to ground out to end the game. With Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) on the injured list, Suarez has converted back-to-back saves this week and has big-time fantasy upside for however long Iglesias is sidelined. Suarez is a perfect 3-for-3 in save chances this season and owns a minuscule 0.77 ERA and 12:2 K:BB across 11.2 innings.

Secures second save Suarez picked up the save Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning.

Impact Though he did allow the potential tying run to get to the plate, Suarez quickly shut down any possible Washington rally while throwing seven of his eight pitches for strikes. The hard-throwing right-hander looks to be assuming closing duties in Raisel Iglesias' (shoulder) stead and should be rostered in all fantasy leagues, posting a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB through 10.2 innings while converting each of his two save chances.

Impact Iglesias has notched five of Atlanta's nine saves on the season, but Suarez provided value in his setup role, notching a save of his own to go with two wins and four holds while pitching to a 0.93 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB over 9.2 innings. Though a timeline for Iglesias' return has yet to be established, Suarez is a clear must-roster player in fantasy leagues while he has a clear path to closing duties for at least the next two weeks. Suarez has plenty of experience in the role, having converted 76 saves for the Padres over the previous two seasons.

Picks up save Saturday Suarez earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning

Impact With Raisel Iglesias unavailable after sleeping on his shoulder wrong, Suarez was called upon with a two-run lead in the ninth and slammed the door on 14 pitches. The 35-year-old has been stellar so far this season, posting a 1.04 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB across 8.2 innings. If Iglesias remains unavailable in the near term, Suarez would clearly be the top option for saves in the Atlanta bullpen.
