Daily News | Ranger Suárez reports to Phillies camp with a little help from his friends
Phillies left-hander Ranger Suárez reported to spring training Thursday in Clearwater, Fla., after being delayed a few days to obtain his work visa.CLEARWATER, Fla. — In obtaining his work visa to join the Phillies here Thursday, Ranger Suárez traveled from his home in Venezuela to Colombia, via Panama. The entire process took about 10 days, with Suárez staying at airport hotels along the way.
If Suárez is ready to open the season on time — and he believes he might be — Velandia will know who to thank. With ace Zack Wheeler sick with the flu this week and already behind schedule because of shoulder soreness that disrupted his offseason throwing program, the Phillies’ pitching depth would be tested further if Suárez is unable to take his turn in the first spin through the rotation.Aaron Nola and Kyle Gibson are slated to start Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
“But I have to be honest with myself. I know that this year’s different. I’ve got to keep training, keep doing my thing, keeping working hard. The success that I had last year, it’s not going to make me throw more strikes. I’ve just got to keep working.”Given the Phillies’ plan to rotate multiple players through the designated hitter spot as though it’s a revolving door, utility infielder Johan Camargo could have an important role.
