The Rangers signed Blach to a minor-league contract Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach has been assigned to the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate for now but should eventually moved up to Triple-A Round Rock. The left-hander made 12 starts and eight relief appearances for the Rockies last season, posting a 6.94 ERA and 36:18 K:BB over 71.1 frames.

Blach cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander was designated for assignment by Colorado over the weekend but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Blach has made 20 appearances (12 starts) for the Rockies this season and has a 6.94 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB in 71.1 innings.

The Rockies designated Blach for assignment Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sept. 1 after Cal Quantrill (tricep) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Blach took the loss in both of his starts since his call-up, allowing 11 runs (10 earned) on 11 hits and two walks while striking out two over 7.2 innings. Blach was serving as a placeholder in the Rockies' rotation, and with Antonio Senzatela (elbow) nearing his return from the 60-day IL, there doesn't appear to be any room on the 40-man roster for the former. Right-hander Victor Vodnik (biceps) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Blach (3-8) allowed five runs on six hits over 3.2 innings Saturday, he struck out one and took the loss against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Blach fell victim to the long ball tying a career high with three home runs allowed vs the Brewers on Saturday. He allowed back-to-back homers to Willy Adames and Gary Sanchez in the first inning, then a two-run blast to William Contreras in the third. Blach was given a second straight start since being called up on September 1, but he's been lit up for five runs in each of those appearances. The 33-year-old has a 6.94 ERA through 71.1 innings this season.

Blach is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran southpaw will pick up a second straight turn through the rotation after he yielded five earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings last Sunday versus the Orioles in his return from Triple-A Albuquerque. Blach is likely just a placeholder in the rotation until the Rockies get Antonio Senzatela (elbow) back from the 60-day injured list, perhaps as soon as next week.

Blach (3-7) yielded five runs on five hits and two walks over four innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Blach was promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque for his first MLB appearance since July 26. He gave up one run through three innings before Baltimore's four-run fourth frame, capped off by James McCann's two-run blast. Blach now owns a 6.65 ERA with a 35:18 K:BB through 67.2 innings with Colorado this season. He's currently scheduled to start in Milwaukee next weekend but it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

The Rockies selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado placed right-hander Cal Quantrill (tricep) on the 15-day injured list to open up room on the 28-man active roster and in the rotation for Blach. The soft-tossing southpaw has previously made 18 appearances (10 starts) for Colorado this season, pitching to a 3-6 record with a 6.36 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 63.2 innings.

Blach will be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and draw the start for Sunday's series finale against the Orioles, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach will take the spot of Cal Quantrill, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to right triceps inflammation. Blach was DFA'd by Colorado in late July after posting a 6.36 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 63.2 innings, but he opted to stay within the organization at the Triple-A level rather than enter free agency. He'll now rejoin the big club and could stick around in the rotation if Quantrill were to miss extended time.

The Rockies outrighted Blach to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday after he cleared waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Blach had the option of electing free agency, but he'll instead stick around in the Colorado organization, with whom he's spent the past two-plus seasons. Before being cast off the Rockies' 40-man roster July 27, Blach made 18 appearances (10 starts) for the big club, posting a 6.36 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 63.2 innings.

Colorado designated Blach for assignment Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach has surrendered nine runs and three homers in his last 4.1 innings of action for the Rockies, raising his ERA to 6.36 on the year. He'll hand over his spot on the 40-man and 26-man roster to John Curtiss. If Blach goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll likely remain in the Rockies' organization.
