PHOENIX (AP) — Baltimore Orioles reliever Albert Suárez has been transferred to the 60-day injured list with a shoulder issue, the team announced on Monday.
The right-hander has made just one appearance this season, throwing 2 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 28. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Suárez isn't expected to need surgery.
“It's going to be months,” Hyde said. “Hopefully just a few months, but it's really unfortunate news.”
The 35-year-old Suárez was a big part of the pitching staff last season, compiling a 3.70 ERA over 133 2/3 innings in 32 appearances, including 24 starts.
