The Atlanta Braves have outrighted left-hander José Suarez to Triple-A Gwinnett after designating him for assignment when acquiring Scott Blewett. Suarez, who was previously part of a trade with the Angels for Ian Anderson, recorded three appearances with mixed results, struggling particularly with walks. His performance has decreased over the past seasons, leading to a 6.56 ERA and previous injury concerns. Although he could have opted for free agency, he will report to Gwinnett to offer long-relief depth in hopes of returning to the majors, with the clock ticking as he risks becoming a minor league free agent.
Suarez, who was acquired from the Angels, has struggled with control issues, evident in his walk rate, raising concerns about his future in the majors.
Despite a rocky performance, Suarez's ability to become a capable back-end starter in the past gives hope to the Braves as he looks to regain form.
