Albert Suárez accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk after being designated for assignment. He has been with the Orioles for three seasons and previously played in Asia. Suárez had a 3.70 ERA over 133 2/3 innings in the '24 season but faced injuries that limited his MLB appearances. He has a 3.45 ERA this season, with equal walks and strikeouts. The Orioles prefer him in a relief role, and he may have opportunities for spot starts due to injuries in the rotation.
"Suárez has the service time and previous outright to elect free agency but decided to remain with the O's as non-roster rotation or long relief depth."
"He was a nice find as a minor league signee who had spent the 2019-23 campaigns in Asia, surprisingly holding a rotation spot for a good chunk of the '24 season."
"Suárez has also allowed four unearned runs and has as many walks as strikeouts (nine apiece), indicating some inconsistency despite a decent ERA."
"Baltimore has preferred Suárez in a relief role at the MLB level over the past year-plus, with potential opportunities for spot starts due to injuries in the rotation."
