• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Considered sixth starter

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2025

  Manager Brandon Hyde said Saturday that Suarez is currently positioned as Baltimore's No. 6 starting pitcher, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. The right-hander is a strong bet to make the Opening Day roster since he's out of minor-league options, but he could be headed to the bullpen rather than the starting rotation. The Orioles have Zach Eflin, Grayson Rodriguez, Charlie Morton, Dean Kremer and Tomoyuki Sugano poised to begin the campaign as their five-man unit, with Cade Povich coming in at the No. 7 spot. Suarez started in 24 of his 32 regular-season appearances last season and is on track to work as a swingman again in 2025.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Starting spring opener

  Rotowire Feb 21, 2025

  Suarez is scheduled to start Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Pirates. Suarez made 24 starts among his 32 appearances last season, pitching to a respectable 3.70 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 133.2 total innings for Baltimore. He struggled to a 6.20 ERA in September and was left off the wild-card roster, but the 35-year-old righty will have a chance to return to the rotation mix in his second season back in the majors following an extended stint overseas between Japan and Korea. While lacking in terms of strikeouts, Suarez will be a streaming candidate against lesser opponents if he's making regular starts for the Orioles, which doesn't seem far fetched given the question marks on the starting staff.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Not part of wild-card roster

  Rotowire Oct 1, 2024

  Suarez is not on the Orioles' American League Wild Card Series roster. Suarez is a candidate to potentially get a start in the ALDS, should the Orioles advance, but the club will need just a max of three starters during the wild-card series. Matt Bowman was also left off the Orioles' roster, with Colin Selby and Cade Povich capturing the final two spots in the bullpen.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Quality start sets up ninth win

  Rotowire Sep 29, 2024

  Suarez (9-7) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Twins. He struck out four. Suarez closed out the 2024 regular season with a quality start, allowing a couple of solo homers but limiting the Twins to just three additional baserunners. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Suarez, who had allowed eight earned runs over his previous two starts spanning 8.2 innings. After having allowed just eight home runs through his first 27 appearances (109 innings) this year, Suarez has been tagged for nine long balls over his last five starts and 24.2 innings. The propensity for giving up the long ball will be a concern as the Orioles set their postseason pitching staff.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Tagged for four runs in loss

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2024

  Suarez (8-7) took the loss Sunday against Detroit, allowing four earned runs on five hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out six. Suarez served up three solo home runs -- two to Kerry Carpenter and a third to Spencer Torkelson. Even after tossing six innings of one-run ball against Boston back on Sep. 10, Suarez has been highly volatile in September. The 34-year-old veteran owns an ugly 7.23 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and a 19:7 K:BB in 18.2 innings this month, ballooning his ERA from 3.14 to 3.74. The right-hander will be difficult to trust in his final start of the season, scheduled for next weekend against the Twins.

Despite having three of the four hits he allowed go for doubles, Suarez managed to collect his sixth quality start, marking his fourth in his last six starts. Overall, the veteran right-hander has now pitched to a 3.39 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB across 119.1 innings this season.

Suarez was pulled an out shy of a quality start after surrendering his second solo homer of the game in the sixth inning. A leadoff blast by Jose Altuve in the first broke the 34-year-old's streak of 17.2 scoreless frames since joining the rotation Aug. 6, and Suarez has now exceeded 90 pitches in three consecutive outings. On the year, he owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 81:35 K:BB across 102 innings and lines up for a road matchup at Coors Field next week.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: No longer starting Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 16, 2024

  Suarez is no longer scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports. The responsibility will instead fall to Cade Povich, who will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Suarez has been terrific since re-entering the rotation in place of the injured Grayson Rodriguez (lat), tossing 11.2 scoreless innings with an 11:3 K:BB. It's not clear whether Suarez will simply be pushed back or is being moved to long relief, which is his likely role in the postseason for the Orioles.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Hurls five scoreless in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2024

  Suarez did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six over five scoreless innings. Suarez started in place of Grayson Rodriguez (lat) and was locked in a pitcher's duel with Chris Bassitt before departing at 73 pitches. The 34-year-old posted a 7.64 ERA in four July starts and allowed three earned runs out of the bullpen Thursday, but he still owns a solid 3.66 ERA across 83.2 innings this season. Should Rodriguez miss any time, Suarez likely earned another chance to fill his rotation spot with this performance.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Starting Tuesday in Toronto

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2024

  Suarez will start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. The right-hander was shifted to the bullpen last week after Baltimore acquired Trevor Rogers ahead of the trade deadline, but Grayson Rodriguez (undisclosed) was a late scratch from his start Tuesday. Suarez allowed three runs over 1.2 innings Thursday at Cleveland, so he'll be taking the mound Tuesday on a normal starter's schedule.

• Orioles' Albert Suarez: Cleared to start Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 28, 2024

  Suarez (shin) will start in Sunday's game against the Padres at Camden Yards. Suarez won't be forced to miss a turn through the rotation after his most recent start Tuesday against the Mariners was cut short when he was struck on the right shin by a comebacker in the third inning. The right-hander suffered little more than a bruise to his lower leg and shouldn't face any restrictions Sunday. Suarez has taken losses in four of his last six starts, posting a 6.51 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over that stretch.

Suarez took a 102-mph comebacker off his right leg during the third inning of Tuesday's contest, and he was limping as he walked off the field alongside a trainer. An update on his status should be made available once the O's are able take a closer look at him.

  Rotowire May 26, 2024
