A surprise standout during the Orioles’ 2024 season is back in the organization. On Wednesday, Baltimore announced it has agreed to terms with right-hander Albert Suárez on a Minor League deal for the 2026 season.

Suárez, now 36, signed a minor league deal with the Orioles ahead of the 2024 season. At that time, he had spent a number of years pitching in Japan and South Korea. The deal worked out well for Suárez and the O’s last year. He was added to the roster in April and gave Baltimore 133 2/3 innings as a swingman with a 3.70 earned run average.

Spire Motorsports owner Jeff Dickerson explains why he believes Daniel Suárez is the right choice to drive Spire’s No. 7 Chevrolet in 2026.
