Not even two weeks ago, the Braves ended up seeing lefty pitcher Jos\u00e9 Suarez get claimed off waivers by the Orioles<\/a> after Atlanta had designated him for assignment. As fate would have it, Suarez\u2019s time with the Orioles ended up being extremely short after the Orioles decided to DFA him last week after they claimed Weston Wilson off waivers from the Phillies.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s apparent now that the Braves were hoping for Suarez to clear waivers after they DFA\u2019d him because now he\u2019s back with the Braves after they claimed him off waivers from the Orioles. The team announced the news first, themselves.<\/p>\n

George Soriano got DFA\u2019d as a result. Soriano\u2019s time with the Braves was just as short-lived as Suarez\u2019s time with the Orioles was \u2014 Soriano was DFA\u2019d by Baltimore on January 9 while Suarez was claimed by the Orioles on January 15. Now, Suarez is back with the Braves and Soriano is right back in the weird waters that are winter waivers.<\/p>\n

At this point now, the big question is whether or not the Braves will try to DFA Suarez again in order to try to get him into their minor league system via that path. He\u2019s out of options so if that\u2019s what they want to do with him then that\u2019s the only way. I think they\u2019d be successful this time around but also wouldn\u2019t be just so goofy if the Orioles picked him up again? Now granted, we\u2019re talking about people\u2019s lives being uprooted at the drop of a dime so I\u2019m rooting for the Braves to get him in their farm system if they choose to DFA him again. If not, then we\u2019ve just got another wacky baseball tale concerning two fringe players.<\/p>\n

Suarez made seven big league appearances and pitched 19.1 innings for the Braves last season, where he produced an ERA of 1.86 and a FIP of 3.70 while also putting up solid numbers for Atlanta\u2019s Triple-A affiliate during the 2025 season as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not even two weeks ago, the Braves ended up seeing lefty pitcher Jos\u00e9 Suarez get claimed off waivers…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2374],"tags":[4206,143,47,2538,5,4,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-539536","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-orioles","8":"tag-atlanta-braves-news","9":"tag-baltimore","10":"tag-baltimore-orioles","11":"tag-baltimoreorioles","12":"tag-baseball","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-orioles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115963617918231369","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
