The 35-year-old right-hander has not pitched in the majors since June 19 due to a right forearm strain and right elbow inflammation.
He tossed a scoreless inning on Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett against Indianapolis, allowing one hit with one strikeout.
Suarez is 4-0 with four saves and a 0.56 ERA in 31 relief appearances this season, his first with Atlanta after signing a three-year, $45 million deal in December.
