Atlanta claimed Suarez off waivers from the Orioles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez went from Atlanta to Baltimore via waivers earlier this month and is now headed back the other direction. The left-hander made seven appearances (one start) with Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work. Suarez doesn't have minor-league options remaining, so if he's still with Atlanta on Opening Day, he's likely to slide into a long relief role with the big club.

The Orioles designated Suarez for assignment Thursday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Bostonreports.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Weston Wilson, who was claimed off waivers. Suarez was a waiver claim of the Orioles himself just one week ago and will now go through the waivers process again. The lefty held a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work for Atlanta in 2025.

The Orioles claimed Suarez off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez made the most of his limited big-league opportunities in 2025, turning in a 1.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 19.1 innings spanning seven appearances (one start). The 28-year-old lefty doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he will have to break spring camp with the Orioles -- likely as a long reliever -- to keep his spot on the 40-man roster.

Atlanta and Suarez avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez made seven appearances (one start) with Atlanta in 2025, finishing with a 1.86 ERA and 16:10 K:BB across 19.1 innings of work. The left-hander holds a career 5.30 ERA over parts of seven major-league seasons and does not have minor-league options remaining, so he could open the 2026 campaign as a long reliever.

Suarez picked up the save Monday against Washington. He allowed five hits and no walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez came in to handle the final three innings Monday, locking down his first save of the year. The southpaw hasn't logged a ton of big-league action, but he's been effective when used, working to a 1.96 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 18.1 innings across six appearances (one start).

Suarez (2-0) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

The nine Ks were a career high for Suarez, who was making his first big-league start of the season and first MLB appearance since April 10. The 27-year-old southpaw missed over two months this summer in the minors with an undisclosed injury, but in four appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett after being activated from the 7-day IL in late August he posted a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 20 innings, and he carried that momentum with him to the majors after his promotion. Suarez was originally brought up for a spot start in the twin bill, but after racking up a massive 21 swinging strikes on 99 pitches (65 total strikes) against the Nats, he may have earned one more turn through the rotation before the end of the season. Atlanta hasn't indicated whether its pitching plans will get shuffled to accommodate him, but with days off coming each of the last two Thursdays in September, the team has plenty of flexibility.

Atlanta selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez will make a spot start Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Nationals. The left-hander has pitched well lately at Gwinnett, posting a 2.70 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 20 innings covering his last four starts. Suarez could be sent back down to Gwinnett after Tuesday's start.

Suarez will have his contract selected from Double-A Columbus to start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against Washington, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday will mark Suarez's first big-league start since the 2024 campaign, which he spent with the Angels. He made three relief appearances for Atlanta earlier this year, surrendering two runs on three hits and seven walks while striking out five over 7.1 innings. Suarez last worked five innings Wednesday against Triple-A Nashville, so he should be stretched out to make a traditional start in Game 1.

Atlanta outrighted Suarez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez has been outrighted before, so he can elect free agency if he wants. The left-hander was removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster after allowing three runs (two earned) with a 5:7 K:BB over 7.1 relief innings with the big club.

Suarez was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Suarez will now be placed on waivers by Atlanta after producing a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with five strikeouts over 7.1 innings in three appearances out of the bullpen. If he clears waivers, he'll either be outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett or released by the team, or he could elect free agency. The transaction makes room for Scott Blewett on Atlanta's 40-man roster after the team traded to get Blewett from the Orioles on Sunday.
