Suarez did have a batter reach on a Xander Bogaerts error and walked another, but he rebounded from there. The subject of the occasional offseason trade rumor because of his salary, Suarez is again locked in as the Padres' closer.
On the same day that the 26-year-old right-hander officially earned his spot in the team's starting rotation, Pfaadt struggled mightily against a loaded Padres lineup. He served up a two-run homer to Jackson Merrill and an RBI double to Xander Bogaerts in the opening inning, then the Padres eked out another in the fourth inning on an attempted double steal. He finishes the spring with a 4.80 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 14/5 K/BB ratio over 15 innings. He should be ready to go for what will presumably be his first start on Tuesday against the Yankees in New York.
Bogaerts is hitting .214 (3-for-14) this spring in an extremely small sample size. The 32-year-old veteran infielder finished last season strong, batting .299 with seven homers and nine steals over his final 64 contests following a two-month absence due to a shoulder injury. He's a top-10 range second baseman for fantasy purposes this spring.
