BOSTON — Red Sox All-Star left-hander Ranger Suárez is expected come off the injured list and start Sunday’s series finale against Toronto, interim Boston manager Chad Tracy said Saturday.

Suárez was placed on the injured list on July 9 because of a strained left groin. He missed the All-Star game.

Suárez was throwing on the field about 2 1/2 hours before Saturday’s game. Tracy said the club will push lefty Payton Tolle from Sunday to start Monday’s series opener in Sacramento against the Athletics.

Suárez is 4-3 with a 3.15 ERA in 17 starts in his first season after signing a $130 million, five-year contract with the Red Sox in free agency.

The team was planning for him to come off the IL and start this past Tuesday, but that game was rained out. Then, he was under the weather and still sore on Wednesday, so they used lefty Eduardo Rivera in a doubleheader nightcap, and team’s record-tying 15-game winning streak was snapped.
