Albert Suárez

Once again, the 36-year-old right-hander rejoins the Orioles’ bullpen after being designated for assignment and re-signing with the O’s on a minor league contract. Suárez has made 27 appearances with the O’s this season, registering a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 41/20 K/BB ratio across 59 innings of work.

There’s a strong chance Suárez sticks around with Baltimore as emergency depth to close out the year. The 36-year-old passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment over the weekend.

We’re all familiar with this cycle by now. The 36-year-old hurler will clear waivers, elect free agency, re-sign on a minor league deal and rejoin the Orioles’ bullpen at some point in the next couple of weeks. Suárez holds a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 41/20 K/BB ratio in 59 innings with the Orioles this season.

No surprise here after Suárez re-signed with the club last week. The well-traveled 36-year-old has posted a respectable 3.93 ERA across 55 innings of work for the Orioles this season.

The cycle continues. Once again the 36-year-old righty was designated for assignment, elected free agency and re-signed with the O’s on a minor league pact. Anticipate that he’ll get another opportunity with the big league club at some point in the next couple of weeks.

There’s a chance Suárez winds up back with Baltimore on a new deal in the coming days. The 36-year-old passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week. He’s posted a respectable 3.93 ERA across 55 innings of work for the Orioles this season.

This happened on May 2, and the Orioles wound up keeping Suárez and selecting his contract on May 19. It happened again on May 24, and he elected free agency, then re-signed with the Orioles a day later. What we’re saying is: Suárez can be DFAed, but he will eternally live on this roster anyway.

Once again, the 36-year-old hurler re-signs with the O’s after being designated for assignment. He has pitched well in seven appearances with the club this season, posting a 2.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 10/9 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings. Cameron Weston was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

The Orioles have already brought him back from free agency to the bigs once this year in what has become an increasingly common tactic with older pitchers like Suárez and Martín Pérez. We would not be surprised if that happens again. For the moment, Suárez is a free agent.

It was assumed that 27th man Grant Wolfram would be returned to Triple-A after Sunday’s doubleheader, but he’ll stick around and Suárez will go back on waivers for the third time this season. Suárez pitched four scoreless innings today, giving him a 2.75 ERA in 19 2/3 innings over the course of seven relief appearances.

The Orioles bullpen has been taxed by some short starts of late, so they’re calling up Suárez to give them more length out of the pen. The 36-year-old has a 3.45 ERA in 15 2/3 innings for Baltimore this season in six relief appearances.

Suárez will stick around as extra organizational relief depth for Baltimore after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 36-year-old veteran reliever allowed one run over 2 2/3 innings against the Yankees in his season debut last Friday.

The procedural move frees up a spot on Baltimore’s 40-man roster. The 36-year-old veteran continues to shuffle on-and-off the Orioles active roster with his latest stint lasting roughly 24 hours. He allowed one run over 2 2/3 innings on Friday in relief against the Yankees.

The 36-year-old hurler re-signed with the Orioles on a minor league deal on Wednesday after he had briefly explored the free agent market. He has done a nice job so far this season for the O’s, posting a 3.46 ERA over 13 innings in his five appearances. With Ryan Helsley (elbow) heading to the injured list and roles shifting around, Suárez should have an opportunity to stick around this time.

Suárez returns to Baltimore as organizational relief depth after passing through waivers unclaimed and electing free agency. The 36-year-old journeyman was cut loose over the weekend in a roster crunch after compiling a respectable 3.46 ERA across 13 innings over five relief appearances this season. He’ll head to Triple-A Norfolk until injury or ineffectiveness opens the door for another stint with the Orioles.

Someone needed to get the boot from the Orioles’ bullpen to accommodate the return of Ryan Helsley on Sunday, but it’s a bit surprising to see Suárez go. The 36-year-old hurler posted a respectable 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 6/5 K/BB ratio over 13 innings in his five appearances out of the O’s bullpen. With so many teams in need of quality bullpen arms, he could attract some interest on waivers.

Two things of note here. This was the first MLB game to end on an overturned challenge, as ball two to Evan Carter with two outs in the ninth was correctly changed to strike three by catcher Samuel Basallo. The other is that it’s Suárez’s first save in nine years, or five if you want to count the one he had in Japan in 2021. His only previous major league save came with the Giants in 2017.

With Zach Eflin going on the injured list, it will be Suárez who is added to the 40-man roster to take his place in the rotation. Suárez pitched just 11 2/3 MLB innings for the Orioles last season with a 2.31 ERA. He has no minor league options remaining, so if the Orioles decide to move Suárez out of the rotation, they will need to designate him for assignment.

Suárez will fortify Baltimore’s overworked bullpen with Zach Eflin (elbow) heading to the injured list ahead of Wednesday’s series finale against the Rangers. The 36-year-old veteran was in Orioles camp this spring as a non-roster invitee.

Suárez came into the day with a 10.80 ERA in 6 2/3 innings this spring, so he needed this to keep his chances of a roster spot alive. He still seems like something of a long shot to make the Orioles after missing most of last year with arm woes.
