The Giants optioned Suarez to their alternate training site Wednesday.
The expanded 30-man Opening Day roster didn't provide enough space for Suarez to win a spot as a depth starter or long reliever, but his presence on the 40-man roster could give him a leg up over others in the 60-man player pool if the big club requires another pitcher at some point. Suarez appeared in 21 games (two starts) for the Giants in 2019, logging a 5.79 ERA and 1.62 WHIP in 32.2 innings.
