Dodgers' Wander Suero: Wild in Dodgers debut
Rotowire
Suero pitched an inning against San Diego on Friday, allowing one run on three walks. He struck out one batter.
Suero made his first appearance as a Dodger after signing with the organization on a minor-league deal in January. The right-hander allowed just two earned runs over 10.2 frames at the Triple-A level before getting called up, but he walked five batters over that span. The lack of control was evident again in Suero's first big-league outing of the campaign, as he threw just 13 of 29 pitches for a strike and walked a trio of Padres. Suero will likely need to show much better command of the strike zone to keep his spot on the big-league roster.

Suero will join a new organization for the first time in his career after his 12-year run in the Nationals system came to an end in November, when he was non-tendered by Washington. The 30-year-old righty has made 185 relief appearances over parts of four seasons in the majors, but after submitting an ugly 6.33 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 42.2 innings with Washington in 2021, Suero will likely head to Triple-A Salt Lake to open the 2022 campaign.
