Orioles Place RHP Albert Suárez on 15-Day IL

The Baltimore Orioles have placed right-hander Albert Suarez on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder, retroactive to March 29. This decision follows his performance on March 28, where he allowed two runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays, showing diminished velocity. In response, the Orioles have called up right-hander Matt Bowman from Triple-A Norfolk to fill the bullpen spot vacated by Suarez. Suarez will be eligible to return as early as April 13. Bowman's experience includes stints with four major league teams last season, and he has overall career statistics of 8-13 with a 4.17 ERA in 211 games. The Orioles aim to manage the pitching staff effectively during Suarez's recovery.
