Baltimore Orioles placed right-hander Albert Suarez on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder. The move is retroactive to Saturday, one day after Suarez allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits in 2 2/3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Orioles announced this morning that they’ve placed right-hander Albert Suarez on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. To replace Suarez on the active roster, the club selected the contract of right-hander Matt Bowman.

• The San Diego Padres returned right-handed pitching prospect Juan Nuñez to the Orioles on Tuesday after the Rule 5 draft pick failed to crack their opening day roster. Nuñez, 24, never pitched above High-A and injuries limited him to 29 1/3 innings last season. He cleared waivers and the Orioles assigned him to minor league camp.
