Jose Suarez Headed Back to the Braves
The Atlanta Braves have claimed left-handed pitcher Jose Suarez off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher George Soriano was designated for assignment. Suarez joined the Braves via trade last March, was claimed off waivers by the Orioles less than two weeks ago, and is now back with Atlanta. The 28-year-old tossed 19.1 innings across seven games (one start) last year, pitching to a 1.86 ERA that masked his underlying 4.39 xFIP. He induced plenty of weak contact but had some issues with control, amassing 7.45 K/9 and 4.66 BB/9. He's not a lock to make the Braves' Opening Day roster, but his status as a left-hander with the ability to pitch multiple innings certainly helps his case.
