Albert Suarez will be starting the Orioles spring training opener on Saturday against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Suarez posted a strong 3.70 ERA across 24 starts (32 appearances) for Baltimore last season. It is unclear what role he will hold this year heading into camp.

Albert Suarez delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run over six innings while striking out eight in the Orioles' 5-3 victory over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

His outing was marked by efficiency and control, despite giving up four hits and two walks. This performance lowers his ERA slightly and should help stabilize his WHIP, which stands at a somewhat elevated 1.29 for the season. Suarez's ability to maintain a solid strikeout rate, now slightly improved, continues to make him a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly those that value strikeouts and quality starts. His season-long metrics, including a FIP of 3.92, suggest some volatility, but performances like this highlight his potential upside.

Albert Suarez allowed six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in the Orioles' 8-1 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

This outing marks a significant deviation from his season-long performance, where he maintained a respectable 3.14 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. The rough patch inflated his ERA and could raise concerns about his reliability in high-leverage situations moving forward. Fantasy managers should monitor Suarez's next few appearances closely, as another poor performance could indicate a deeper issue rather than a one-off bad day at the office.

Albert Suarez allowed two earned runs over seven innings in the Orioles' 5-3 win against the Rockies on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

He scattered eight hits, struck out four, and did not issue a walk. This performance is a solid reflection of his season, characterized by a decent ERA and WHIP, which should keep him in good standing in fantasy rotations, especially in deeper leagues. His consistent innings and moderate strikeout numbers offer some stability, though his lack of high strikeout rates might limit his ceiling. Fantasy managers should view Suarez as a reliable, if not spectacular, option, benefiting from a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio and a sustainable BABIP.

Albert Suarez allowed two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in the Orioles' 3-2 win against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out three. This outing was a typical performance for Suarez, aligning closely with his season averages in ERA and WHIP. His ability to limit damage and maintain a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to make him a reliable, if not spectacular, option in deeper fantasy leagues. Given his consistent season performance, he should remain a steady middle-of-the-rotation arm for fantasy managers looking for stability rather than high upside.
