The Baltimore Orioles selected the contract of right-hander Albert Suarez from Triple-A Norfolk, and he will make the start on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins in the series finale. This will be Suarez's first big-league appearance since back in 2017 when he threw 31 2/3 innings of relief for the San Francisco Giants. The 34-year-old veteran should be avoided in fantasy formats as a streaming option after posting a 5.87 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with one walk and 17 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings over his three outings (one start) for Norfolk before getting the call up to the Show on Wednesday. The O's are currently short-handed in their starting rotation with Tyler Wells (elbow) hitting the injured list on Tuesday, but this will likely be just one spot start for Suarez before he's sent back to the minors.

LHP Albert Suarez, a former Miami Hurricanes star, would've loved to be with the Giants this weekend as his organization played at Marlins Park. But Suarez, who turns 25 in September, could be close to joining the big team. The prospect, who was the Giants' second-round pick in 2015, has reached Triple A for the first time in his career. He is 5-5 with a 3.36 at Triple A this year, pretty good numbers in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. He has allowed just 69 hits, including three homers, in 69 1/3 innings.

RHP Albert Suarez blanked the Diamondbacks over the final 2 1/3 innings on one hit with three strikeouts for his first major league save on Sunday at AT&T, preserving a 6-3 victory. He struck out pinch hitter Chris Iannetta for the final out. "It's big," Suarez said of his first save. "It's even better with a strikeout." Suarez came on with the bases loaded and retired A.J. Pollock on a ground ball for the third out. He threw all breaking balls during that at-bat. "Tried to get away from the barrel," Suarez said, smiling.

RHP Albert Suarez saw immediate action after he was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento before Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres.

He went 3-5 with a 4.29 ERA last season for the Giants in 22 games, including 12 starts.

RHP Albert Suarez is being considered for the Giants' start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Suarez has been used as the Giants' fifth starter since the All-Star break, but his scheduled start Thursday against Colorado was scratched so that RHP Johnny Cueto could be reinserted into the rotation. That move pushed the opening in the rotation back to Saturday, making LHP Ty Blach an optio as well.

RHP Albert Suarez was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento when the Giants placed RHP Cory Gearrin on the disabled list. He was demoted earlier this week, in part because the Giants won't need a fifth starter until after the All-Star break due to a day off Thursday. Suarez is 3-1 with a 3.72 ERA in 12 games (six starts) for San Francisco this year. He will be used in relief pending RHP Matt Cain's healthy return from the DL after the All-Star break.

RHP Albert Suarez gave up two runs on six hits in six innings in his sixth start of the season Sunday at Arizona. Suarez also has pitched six games in relief and been valuable in both roles, but with RHPs Matt Cain and Sergio Romo (flexor) returning shortly, roster spots are precious. Romo is expected to rejoin the team Monday. "He (Suarez) has done such a great job," manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday. "He's a guy you want on your club. With that said ... options give you flexibility. He, (RHP reliever Derek) Law give that to you. I think he's earned a spot here, but can't say for sure because we're getting Romo back, we're getting Cain back. You don't know exactly what's going to happen."

By the end of the inning, the A's had taken a 5-4 lead against the Giants bullpen. He was charged with three runs in his 5 2/3 innings, the seventh consecutive start in which he gave up either two or three runs.
