## Resource

Ranger Suarez is inching back toward the mound after a groin strain and a nasty bug sidelined him, throwing a side session Friday with hopes of a start Sunday or early next week against the Athletics. Manager Chad Tracy insists no rush—Suarez must feel 100% before returning. Backup Payton Tolle is ready if needed. Meanwhile, lefty Connelly Early, out since July with shoulder inflammation, threw an inning and played catch, aiming for a longer bullpen session, live BP, then a minor league rehab stint. Both pitchers boast stellar ERAs—Suarez at 3.15 in 17 starts, Early at 3.44. With Patrick Sandoval’s recent return from Tommy John surgery, the rotation remains fluid. Reliever Brayan Bello has been electric, showing elite velocity in scoreless innings, and the team is still weighing whether to keep him in the bullpen or bring him back to start.
