Suarez had a 6.35 ERA through his first four starts, and he had failed to finish the fifth inning in any of them.
CHICAGO — The Angels optioned left-hander José Suarez on Sunday, a day after his fourth straight disappointing outing to begin the season.The Angels recalled left-hander Kenny Rosenberg to take Suarez’s spot on the roster. In the short term, Rosenberg provided extra coverage for the bullpen on Sunday because long reliever Jaime Barria was unavailable after pitching three innings on Saturday.
Patrick Sandoval is scheduled to pitch on Monday in Chicago. Shohei Ohtani and Reid Detmers were in line to start the first two games in Boston on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Angels could have their other starters work on four days rest — which is standard for most pitchers but not something any of their pitchers have done this season — or they will need to insert someone new in the rotation. Even if they did that, they would still need a spot starter somewhere to make sure Ohtani didn’t pitch on less than five days rest.
