The Nationals selected Suarez in the second round, with the 57th overall selection, of the 2014 MLB Draft.[3][4] He chose to return to Miami for his senior year,[5][1][6] in order to earn his degree and attempt to improve his draft status for 2015.[7] The Giants selected Suarez in the second round of the 2015 MLB Draft, with the 61st overall selection.[8] Suarez signed with the Giants and made three appearances with the Arizona Giants of the Rookie-level Arizona League before he was promoted to the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League.[9] In August, the Giants promoted Suarez to the San Jose Giants of the Class A-Advanced California League.[10]

Suarez began the 2016 season in San Jose, and was promoted to the Richmond Flying Squirrels of the Class AA Eastern League. In 2017, he started the season with Richmond, and was promoted to the Sacramento River Cats of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League.[11]
