Suárez Elects Free Agency After Clearing Waivers from Baltimore
The Orioles' depth right-hander opted for the open market rather than accept a Triple-A assignment, though a reunion is considered likely.
The Orioles officially announced that right-hander Albert Suárez elected free agency after clearing waivers following a designation for assignment last week. This is the latest cycle in a recurring pattern this season in which Suárez has been added to the roster, DFA'd, cleared waivers, and returned to Baltimore. He has posted a 3.93 ERA across 55 innings in 25 appearances this year, though underlying metrics like a 4.39 FIP and 4.62 SIERA suggest some regression risk. The Orioles are expected to remain a potential landing spot, as they have valued him as a depth arm and swingman throughout the season.
