The Philadelphia Phillies activated left-hander Ranger Suarez and outfielder Cristian Pache on Friday and added them to their expanded 28-man roster.
Suarez had been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 19 (retroactive to Aug. 16) because of a right hamstring strain, while Pache was activated from the 10-day IL after completing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Pache had been dealing with right elbow irritation.
Suarez, 28, is 2-6 with a 3.88 ERA in 17 starts this season. He is 27-21 with a 3.29 ERA in 129 career appearances (61 starts) with the Phillies.
Pache, 24, is hitting .327 with two homers and eight RBIs in 32 games in his first season with Philadelphia.
