News
	Suarez has a 3.38 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 57:19 K:BB across 59.2 innings this season and faces the Yankees in New York next weekend. He has not recorded a quality start since the end of April and has worked six-plus innings just three times in 11 outings. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 1st	Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Justin Steele will not throw a ball for “multiple weeks." Ari Koslow Thu, May 28th
	Suarez has a 3.02 ERA and 47:17 K:BB across 53.2 innings this season, working with a 91.1 mph fastball and a 21% whiff rate. He has gone six-plus innings just three times in ten starts and has failed to reach the sixth in each of his last four outings. Entering Tuesday, he had allowed just one run across 13.2 innings this month. Bruno Mulé Wed, May 27th	Justin Steele was cleared to begin strengthening exercises on Tuesday. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, May 27th
	Ranger Suarez allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Tuesday’s win over the Royals. Chris Schommer Wed, May 20th	Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Justin Steele's flexor strain will keep him out of the rotation until after the All-Star Break. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 28th
	Ranger Suarez allowed four hits and one walk while striking out eight over 5 1/3 scoreless innings in Thursday’s loss to the Phillies. Chris Schommer Fri, May 15th	Justin Steele suffered a setback in his recovery and has been shutdown. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 28th
	Ranger Suarez is scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against the Phillies. Ari Koslow Sun, May 10th	Justin Steele told reporters he’s targeting a return to the Cubs’ rotation in May or June. Ari Koslow Sun, Mar 1st
Notes
	Ranger Suárez quietly delivered his best all-around season in 2025, pairing a 3.20 ERA with career-best walk suppression (5.8 BB%) while holding hitters to a sub-.680 OPS for the second straight year. His strikeout rate (23.2%) remained stable, but the real growth came from improved command and softer contact, as his HardHit rate dipped to a career low despite a slight drop in ground-ball rate. The 2026 projections largely bank on more of the same: mid-3.00s ratios, solid volume, and strong WHIP support driven by control rather than overpowering stuff. While he lacks true ace-level strikeout upside, Suárez's durability, efficiency, and run-prevention profile make him a solid addition to fantasy rotations. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
