Boston Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suárez will have to wait at least one more day to rejoin the team. The Venezuelan left-hander was not activated from the injured list on Tuesday as initially planned, according to MLB's official website.

Suárez was scheduled to pitch against the Baltimore Orioles, but his return was postponed. Puerto Rican pitcher Eduardo Rivera was chosen to start the game instead. The Red Sox opted to give Suárez an additional day of recovery following his throwing routines and fielding practice on Monday, July 20.

The Massachusetts team placed Suárez on the 15-day injured list on July 6 due to a left groin strain. The injury occurred the day before when he was forced to leave a game against the Los Angeles Angels after just 2.2 innings due to discomfort in his left leg. This season, Suárez has a 4-3 record with a 3.15 ERA in 17 starts during his first campaign with the Red Sox.
