Overall
Summary
José Suarez, 28-year-old left-handed pitcher, was designated for assignment by the Seattle Mariners on May 13, 2026, after being claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on May 3. He made just one appearance for Seattle (2 innings, 1 run, 2 hits, 2 walks). Between Atlanta and Seattle in 2026, Suarez carries a 6.38 ERA over 18.1 innings with a 2.07 WHIP. Despite poor ERA numbers, he has excelled at strikeout rate (26.7-27% K%). The Mariners needed roster space to activate Bryce Miller from the IL. Suarez was subsequently acquired by the Oakland Athletics on May 14 for cash considerations. He is out of minor league options and has been designated for assignment four times in 2026 (twice by Atlanta, once by Baltimore, once by Seattle).
