Back with big club The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Suarez will provide a much-needed fresh relief arm after the Orioles' bullpen had to cover 4.1 innings in Monday's blowout loss to the Rays. He's posted a 3.45 ERA and a 9:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings with Baltimore this season.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Accepts assignment to Triple-A Suarez cleared waivers Monday and was assigned outright by the Orioles to Triple-A Norfolk, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.

Impact Suarez was DFA'd by the Orioles on Saturday, and after not being claimed off waivers by another team, he will opt to stay with the organization in the minors. It's the second time in as many weeks that Suarez has been booted from Baltimore's 40-man roster, but he could see some action with the big club this season. Across six major-league outings this season, Suarez has a 3.45 ERA, 1.28 wHIP, one save and a 9:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings.

Trey Gibson, a 23-year-old right-hander ranked as the Baltimore Orioles’ No. 3 prospect, will be brought up Sunday to start against the New York Yankees in his major league debut

MAY 2 • Associated Press

Designated for assignment The Oroles designated Suarez for assignment Saturday.

Impact Suarez has now been DFA'd by Baltimore twice within the past week, this time to make room for Dietrich Enns' (foot) return from the IL and Nick Raquet's promotion from Triple-A. The 36-year-old Suarez went unclaimed off waivers when he was last pushed off the Orioles' 40-man roster, and there's a high chance he clears waivers again.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Baltimore The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact After electing free agency Wednesday, Suarez returned to the O's on a minor-league deal Thursday and will now rejoin Baltimore's bullpen to replace the injured Ryan Helsley (elbow). Suarez has been effective as a long reliever in the big leagues this year, posting a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 13 innings across five appearances.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Elects free agency, likely to return Suarez cleared waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Suarez was pushed off the Orioles' 40-man roster Sunday, and although he opted for free agency, he's expected to re-sign with Baltimore on a minor-league contract, per Kubatko. The 36-year-old righty has performed well with the Orioles this year, posting a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 13 innings across five appearances.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

Loses 40-man roster spot Baltimore designated Suarez for assignment Sunday.

Impact Suarez spent most of April on the big-league squad and appeared in five games, pitching reasonably well with a 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB with a win and a save over 13 innings. However, the Orioles needed to make room on the active roster for Ryan Helsley, who was reinstated from the bereavement/family medical emergency list Sunday. Suarez will end up losing his roster spot as a result, but he could remain with the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Contract selected The Orioles selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Impact Suarez joins the active roster as a replacement for Zach Eflin (elbow). The 36-year-old Suarez will provide some length out of the Orioles' bullpen.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

En route to Baltimore The Orioles are expected to recall Suarez from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact With Zach Eflin (elbow) likely headed for the injured list, Suarez will come up from the minors to provide extra bullpen depth until the team needs to fill the open rotation spot. The 36-year-old righty made five appearances in the majors last season and allowed just three earned runs over 11.2 innings, but he turned in a 7.59 ERA and 1.97 WHIP across 10.2 frames in the Grapefruit League this spring.

APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sent out to Norfolk The Orioles reassigned Suarez to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Suarez wasn't able to secure a starting or long-relief role on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, but the 36-year-old will provide the organization with valuable depth at the Triple-A level. The right-hander made five appearances (one start) at the big-league level in 2025, giving up three earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out 10 over 11.2 innings.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy for spring training Suarez (forearm) said Monday that he's fully healthy this spring, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact A mild forearm flexor strain brought Suarez's 2025 campaign to an early end, but the 36-year-old right-hander believes he's "100 percent" and "good to go" ahead of spring training. Suarez is with the Orioles on a minor-league contract leading into Grapefruit League action, and he'd likely be left with a bullpen role as a long reliever if he winds up claiming an Opening Day roster spot.

FEBRUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Orioles on MiLB deal The Orioles re-signed Suarez (forearm) to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Suarez was non-tendered by Baltimore last month but has made his way back into its organization. The right-hander was limited to only 11.2 innings with the big club in 2025, first due to a shoulder injury and then a flexor strain that ended his season. It's not clear what Suarez's current health status is, but he's been a useful swingman for the Orioles when available.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Non-tendered by O's The Orioles non-tendered Suarez (forearm) on Friday.

Impact Suarez turned in a 2.31 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 11.2 innings in 2025 while healthy, though that was a rare occasion, as he missed five months of the year with a shoulder injury before landing on the injured list again in September with a flexor strain in his right forearm. The 36-year-old righty posted a 3.70 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 133.2 frames during his latest full season in 2024, which could still be enough to draw interest from other clubs in free agency.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with flexor strain Suarez has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his right forearm, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Impact Suarez suffered the injury during his final appearance of the regular season Sept. 14. He's expected to begin a throwing program in the coming weeks. Suarez was limited to just 11.2 innings for the Orioles this season, with most of the missed time occurring due to a right shoulder strain.
