CHICAGO – The Orioles will get a second opinion on Albert Suárez’s right elbow after he underwent an MRI last night.
Suárez is done pitching in 2025 after the Orioles put him on the 15-day injured list yesterday with right elbow discomfort. He noticed it after throwing three innings Sunday in Toronto.
“I think in the next week we’ll have something official on him that we want to release,” said interim manager Tony Mansolino, “but we have to go through the proper channels and make sure that the treatment plan and everything is appropriate.”
The season has been a grind for Suárez, who made one appearance in March, also in Toronto, before going on the IL with a rotator cuff strain. He got into four games this month, allowing two runs in nine innings, before enduring another shutdown.
The bullpen has a new left-hander, José Castillo, a waiver claim from the Mariners who reported today.
CHICAGO – Jordan Westburg is ready to play again for the Orioles, who reinstated him from the 10-day injured list earlier today. He’s serving as the designated hitter for tonight’s game against the White Sox.
Westburg’s last appearance came on Aug. 18 in Boston. He’s been out with a right ankle sprain.
The injured list is back down to 10 players.
Infielder Emmanuel Rivera was designated for assignment to make room for Westburg. He’s hit .250/.291/.283 in 42 games.
The 40-man roster has 39 players.
CHICAGO – The Orioles made another flurry of roster moves this afternoon in Chicago.
Relievers Chayce McDermott and Yaramil Hiradlo were recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. Albert Suárez was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort, ending his season, and Carson Ragsdale was designated for assignment.
Ragsdale was optioned yesterday before the DFA.
The Orioles also claimed left-hander José Castillo on waivers from the Mariners, but he hasn’t reported.
Infielder Jordan Westburg is with the club and said he’s ready to go, but the Orioles didn’t announce a move with him.
