Overview
- Baltimore announced the minor-league signing Wednesday, bringing back Suárez weeks after he was non-tendered at the arbitration deadline.
- Suárez, 36, missed most of 2025 with a grade-two subscapularis strain and later a mild elbow flexor strain that did not require surgery.
- He was an effective swingman in 2024, delivering 133 2/3 innings with a 3.70 ERA across 24 starts and eight relief appearances.
- He is expected to be healthy for spring training and, per reporting, will presumably receive a non-roster invite to compete for a roster spot.
- The Orioles currently project a rotation of Kyle Bradish, Trevor Rogers, Dean Kremer, Tyler Wells and Cade Povich, with Suárez among depth options.
