"This was a lost year for Suárez, who'd been a surprisingly valuable part of the 2024 pitching staff. The journeyman started 24 of 32 appearances a season ago, working to a 3.70 ERA across 133 2/3 innings. Suárez began this year in long relief. He hurt his shoulder after one appearance and was diagnosed with a rotator cuff strain that cost him the next four months."
"Suárez is eligible for arbitration for the first time in his career. MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz projects him for a $900K salary. That's more than reasonable if the Orioles expect him to be healthy next season, but any kind of serious injury could lead them to drop him from the 40-man roster. Suárez is one of 14 Baltimore players who'll be eligible for arbitration."
Albert Suárez is scheduled for an MRI after suffering a season-ending elbow inflammation that could require surgery. The 35-year-old missed most of the year following a rotator cuff strain that occurred after one appearance while beginning the season in long relief. Suárez returned in September and made four appearances, totaling nine innings and allowing two runs. He had started 24 of 32 appearances in 2024 with a 3.70 ERA across 133 2/3 innings. Suárez is arbitration-eligible for the first time with a $900K projection; a serious injury could cost him a 40-man roster spot.
