Plays catch Friday Suarez (elbow) played catch on the field at Truist Park on Friday, Harrison Smajovits of SI.com reports.

Impact It appears to be the first time he's thrown since he landed on the 15-day injured list nearly one month ago with right elbow inflammation. Suarez will need to complete mound work and throwing to hitters before perhaps going out on a rehab assignment. A clearer picture regarding a timeline for the setup man should be available as he continues his throwing progression.

Impact Suarez landed on the injured list Friday due to inflammation in his elbow, but he doesn't seem to be dealing with a serious injury and is expected to return sometime shortly after the All-Star break.

Braves place Robert Suarez on 15-day IL; call up Hurston Waldrep Atlanta’s Injury List gets another big name added to it.

JUNE 26 • BATTERYPOWER.COM

Placed on injured list Atlanta placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Tuesday, with right elbow inflammation.

Impact Suarez hasn't pitched since last Friday due to what was originally described as forearm tightness, though further evaluation has since determined that the 35-year-old is dealing with an elbow issue. It remains unknown whether his injury is due to a structural issue, but more information about his return timeline could come out in the near future. Hurston Waldrep was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Nursing tight forearm Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Padres in 10 innings that Suarez wasn't available due to forearm tightness, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Const...

Impact The injury explains why Atlanta didn't turn to Suarez as a setup man when the team held a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the seventh. Suarez last pitched Friday, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and 28 pitches in a win over the Brewers. Weiss downplayed any concern about Suarez's forearm issue, noting that the right-hander could be ready to return to his usual late-inning relief role in Wednesday's series finale.
