"Suárez has the service time and previous outright to elect free agency but decided to remain with the O's as non-roster rotation or long relief depth."
"He was a nice find as a minor league signee who had spent the 2019-23 campaigns in Asia, surprisingly holding a rotation spot for a good chunk of the '24 season."
"Suárez has also allowed four unearned runs and has as many walks as strikeouts (nine apiece), indicating some inconsistency despite a decent ERA."
"Baltimore has preferred Suárez in a relief role at the MLB level over the past year-plus, with potential opportunities for spot starts due to injuries in the rotation."
Albert Suárez accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk after being designated for assignment. He has been with the Orioles for three seasons and previously played in Asia. Suárez had a 3.70 ERA over 133 2/3 innings in the '24 season but faced injuries that limited his MLB appearances. He has a 3.45 ERA this season, with equal walks and strikeouts. The Orioles prefer him in a relief role, and he may have opportunities for spot starts due to injuries in the rotation.
