Overview

  • Albert Suárez has been transferred to the 60-day injured list due to a right subscapularis strain, sidelining him until at least May 29.
  • Suárez’s injury follows a diminished-velocity performance in his March 28 outing against the Toronto Blue Jays, where he allowed two runs over 2 2/3 innings.
  • In response to Suárez's absence, the Orioles traded outfielder Daz Cameron and cash to the Milwaukee Brewers for left-hander Grant Wolfram.
  • Wolfram, 28, has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, signaling a focus on bolstering the minor league pitching depth for potential future contributions.
  • Suárez was a key contributor for the Orioles last season, posting a 3.70 ERA across 32 games and recording the second-most innings pitched on the team.
