Albert Suarez To Start In The Bullpen
1 day agoBaltimore Orioles right-hander Albert Suarez lost out in the battle for the No. 5 starting rotation spot to left-hander Cade Povich and will now begin the 2025 season in the bullpen, according to general manager Mike Elias. It doesn't mean that Suarez won't be starting games for Baltimore this year, but his minimal fantasy value will take a hit in AL-only leagues to begin the season. The 35-year-old veteran appeared in a career-high 32 games (24 starts) a year ago and went 9-7 with a career-best 3.70 ERA (4.24 FIP) and 1.29 WHIP with 108 strikeouts and 43 walks in 133 2/3 innings pitched. Fantasy managers in AL-only leagues certainly shouldn't expect that kind of volume in 2025 in his second year in Baltimore. He figures to make most of his appearances this year in a long-relief role, but he'll still be a valuable swingman for the O's.
