    Orioles sent RHP Albert Suárez outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

    There’s a strong chance Suárez sticks around with Baltimore as emergency depth to close out the year. The 36-year-old passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment over the weekend.

    We’re all familiar with this cycle by now. The 36-year-old hurler will clear waivers, elect free agency, re-sign on a minor league deal and rejoin the Orioles’ bullpen at some point in the next couple of weeks. Suárez holds a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 41/20 K/BB ratio in 59 innings with the Orioles this season.

    No surprise here after Suárez re-signed with the club last week. The well-traveled 36-year-old has posted a respectable 3.93 ERA across 55 innings of work for the Orioles this season.

    The cycle continues. Once again the 36-year-old righty was designated for assignment, elected free agency and re-signed with the O’s on a minor league pact. Anticipate that he’ll get another opportunity with the big league club at some point in the next couple of weeks.

    There’s a chance Suárez winds up back with Baltimore on a new deal in the coming days. The 36-year-old passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week. He’s posted a respectable 3.93 ERA across 55 innings of work for the Orioles this season.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #49
    This happened on May 2, and the Orioles wound up keeping Suárez and selecting his contract on May 19. It happened again on May 24, and he elected free agency, then re-signed with the Orioles a day later. What we’re saying is: Suárez can be DFAed, but he will eternally live on this roster anyway.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #49
    Once again, the 36-year-old hurler re-signs with the O’s after being designated for assignment. He has pitched well in seven appearances with the club this season, posting a 2.75 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 10/9 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings. Cameron Weston was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #49
    The Orioles have already brought him back from free agency to the bigs once this year in what has become an increasingly common tactic with older pitchers like Suárez and Martín Pérez. We would not be surprised if that happens again. For the moment, Suárez is a free agent.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #49
    It was assumed that 27th man Grant Wolfram would be returned to Triple-A after Sunday’s doubleheader, but he’ll stick around and Suárez will go back on waivers for the third time this season. Suárez pitched four scoreless innings today, giving him a 2.75 ERA in 19 2/3 innings over the course of seven relief appearances.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #49
    The Orioles bullpen has been taxed by some short starts of late, so they’re calling up Suárez to give them more length out of the pen. The 36-year-old has a 3.45 ERA in 15 2/3 innings for Baltimore this season in six relief appearances.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #49
    Suárez will stick around as extra organizational relief depth for Baltimore after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 36-year-old veteran reliever allowed one run over 2 2/3 innings against the Yankees in his season debut last Friday.

    Justin Verlander (hamstring) threw a one-inning simulated game on Friday.

    Verlander is attempting to make it back for the final start of his Hall of Fame career at Comerica Park against the Pirates next weekend. The 43-year-old icon is scheduled to throw another bullpen session early next week to determine whether he’s ready to take the ball one final time before hanging up his spikes. He’s been out with hip and hamstring issues since early April.

    Tristan Peters was removed from Friday’s game against the Tigers with a left shoulder contusion.

    Peters is officially day-to-day, according to the White Sox. It doesn’t sound like he underwent any precautionary imaging after running full speed into the outfield wall during the fifth inning of Friday’s eventual loss to Detroit. The 26-year-old breakout sensation is presumably going to get a couple days off to rest and recover after the collision.

    Robert Suarez (forearm) will make a minor league rehab appearance for Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

    Suarez hasn’t pitched for Atlanta since mid-June due to a forearm strain. The 35-year-old’s return would provide a much-needed bridge to closer Raisel Iglesias for the playoff-bound Braves. He’ll likely require a handful of rehab outings before the club decides on his next steps, but he figures to be ready for the postseason.

    Rangers SS prospect Sebastian Walcott went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases for Double-A Frisco on Friday.

    Walcott made a massive impact during the RoughRiders’ postseason run, which came to an end on Friday night, going 4-for-11 with one homer and four steals in their three-game playoff series. The -year-old prodigy missed most of the year after undergoing elbow surgery back in the spring, but looked like one of the top fantasy prospects in the game after returning, hitting .329/.404/.608 with 10 homers and 12 steals in 39 games.

    Mike Vasil (elbow) played catch on Friday.

    It was Vasil’s first time throwing since undergoing Tommy John surgery back in late March. The 26-year-old reliever is at the outset of his throwing progression and is likely to miss a good portion of next season while working his way back.

    John Means (Achilles) allowed two runs over 4 1/3 innings in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    Means is working his way back from offseason surgery after rupturing his Achilles last December. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw spent all of last season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery with the Guardians. The encouraging news here is that he figures to be ready for the start of spring training and could be in the mix for a spot in Kansas City’s rotation.

    Nationals RHP prospect Jarlin Susana allowed four runs over 2 2/3 innings in his debut for Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

    Susana is one of the hardest-throwing starting pitching prospects in the game and he displayed his premium velocity in his first Triple-A outing, topping out at 102.6 mph in the 66-pitch effort. The electrifying 22-year-old is one of the better fantasy prospects in the game solely because his strikeout upside is off the metaphorical charts if everything comes together. Susana remains a work in progress after missing significant time due to injury in each of the last two seasons. He’s the caliber of pitching prospect that fantasy managers need to follow closely as he continues his trajectory towards Washington’s rotation.

    Giants OF prospect Bo Davidson went 3-for-4 with an RBI for Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    It would be fascinating to see Davidson get a cup of coffee with San Francisco in the final week of the regular season after starting the year in Double-A as a relative unknown outside of the prospect and dynasty community. The 24-year-old is the extremely rare undrafted player that turns into a legitimate prospect and has torn the cover off the ball this season, slashing .284/.353/.523 with 29 homers and 19 steals in 536 plate appearances in the upper minors. He offers an interesting set of fantasy-relevant tools and is a name that fantasy managers should be watching closely next spring.

    Joshua Kuroda-Grauer (groin) went 0-for-3 in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

    Kuroda-Grauer is unlikely to return to the majors before the regular season concludes, but he’s expected to have a normal offseason and be a full-go at the outset of spring training. That’s the most positive outcome after undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured testicle back in late July. He should factor into the Athletics’ infield mix next spring.

    Anthony Santander (shoulder) went 1-for-4 in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    Santander took a couple games off earlier this week due to lower back discomfort. He’s technically in the mix for a postseason roster spot, if Toronto makes it that far, but he’s barely played over the last two years due to shoulder issues. He’s more of a complete Wild Card as opposed to a sure thing at this stage of his career.
