The Baltimore Orioles have faced significant challenges in their starting lineup due to injuries, leading to the emergence of Albert Suarez as a crucial player. After signing a minor league contract in September 2023, Suarez was called up to the majors and made a strong impact, starting 24 games and posting a 3.70 ERA over 133.2 innings.
Manager Brandon Hyde expressed uncertainty about Suarez's future with the team, acknowledging the player's impressive contributions and the complexities of free agency. With other starters like Corbin Burnes likely leaving and injuries to key players, the Orioles are in need of reliable pitching options.
