"Orioles righty Albert Suarez's season ended with an elbow injury, and the 36-year-old underwent an MRI earlier this week to determine whether there was any structural damage that would necessitate surgery. The team announced to its beat that Suarez has been diagnosed with a "mild" strain of the flexor tendon in his right forearm ( via Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com). The expectation is that he'll be cleared to begin a throwing program within the next several weeks."
"A shoulder strain limited him to just 11 2/3 innings this season, but Suarez was an out-of-the-blue key contributor for the 2024 Orioles, tossing 133 2/3 innings with a 3.70 ERA between the rotation and bullpen. That marked his first big league action since 2017; Suarez spent the 2019-23 seasons pitching in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball and in the Korea Baseball Organization - throwing quite well in each league."
Albert Suarez underwent an MRI that revealed a mild strain of the flexor tendon in his right forearm, and he is expected to begin a throwing program within several weeks. He likely will avoid surgery unless setbacks occur during the throwing progression. A shoulder strain limited Suarez to 11 2/3 innings this season, but he contributed 133 2/3 innings with a 3.70 ERA for the 2024 Orioles between the rotation and bullpen. Suarez returned to the majors after pitching in Nippon Professional Baseball and the Korea Baseball Organization from 2019–23. He owns 145 1/3 innings, a 3.59 ERA, a 19.4% strikeout rate and a 7.4% walk rate since joining the Orioles.
