Albert Suarez Not Included On Wild-Card Roster
2 days agoThe Baltimore Orioles left right-hander Albert Suarez off the roster for the wild-card series this week against the Kansas City Royals at Camden Yards. During a three-game series, the O's won't need Suarez. But if they advance past the Royals and to the ALDS versus the division-rival New York Yankees, Suarez could be called upon as a starter. The 34-year-old Venezuelan hurler made a career-high 32 appearances (24 starts) for the O's in 2024, going 9-7 with a 3.70 ERA (4.24 FIP), a 1.29 WHIP, a career-high 108 strikeouts and 43 walks in 133 2/3 frames. The Orioles are starting right-hander Corbin Burnes in Game 1 on Tuesday, and Colin Selby and Cade Povich were chosen as the last two pitchers for Baltimore in relief roles. Suarez has been impressive this year, considering 2024 was his first year in the big leagues since 2017.
