Blach (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Blach had pitched eight scoreless innings over his previous two outings, both starts, but he suffered a setback in performance this time around. Just two of the hits he allowed went for extra bases, but those knocks were responsible for three of the runs on his line. The veteran southpaw has a 4.85 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 26 innings over 10 appearances (three starts) this season. With the Rockies desperate for starting pitching, he should remain in the rotation, and he's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Manager Bud Black said after Sunday's win over the Athletics that Blach will remain in the rotation and start during next weekend's series in St. Louis, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blach performed well as Sunday's starter, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out two in five scoreless innings to pick up his first win of the season. He tossed just 52 pitches in the outing, a slight increase after throwing 42 pitches in his last start. He'll have another opportunity to showcase his potential as a starter next weekend against the Cardinals.

Blach is slated to start Sunday's game against the Athletics at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After making his most recent appearance -- and his first since July 1 -- as the Rockies' opening pitcher last Sunday in Miami, Blach will draw another starting assignment. The veteran southpaw worked three innings and 41 pitches his last time out against Miami before turning the game over to the bullpen, but he could be able to reach five innings and thus qualify for the win Sunday if he's economical with his pitch count. Even so, Blach won't make for a recommended streaming option even in deeper leagues while he'll be pitching in the unforgiving confines of Coors Field.

Blach did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two hits over three scoreless innings in a 3-2 loss to Miami. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Blach made his first start of the campaign Sunday, serving as the opening arm for a bullpen game. Despite donning the opener tag, Blach went three innings and turned in his third consecutive scoreless outing (six innings). Though Blach has spent a significant portion of 2023 in the minors, he owns a 5.51 ERA and a 7:2 K:BB through eight appearances (16.1 innings) at the MLB level.

Blach will serve as the Rockies' opener Sunday versus the Marlins, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be his first time working as an opener in 2023. Blach, 32, has allowed 13 runs -- 10 earned -- on 24 hits and two walks in 13.1 innings this season at the major-league level. Connor Seabold, recently demoted to the bullpen, could come on as a bulk reliever for Colorado in Sunday's game.

Colorado selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blach made the Opening Day bullpen out of Rockies camp this spring but was cut loose before the end of April after allowing 13 runs -- 10 earned -- over 11 innings. He'll get another shot in a low-leverage role.

Blach cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Blach was designated for assignment by the Rockies to make room for Randal Grichuk after Grichuk came off the injured list on Saturday. Blach will likely report back to Triple-A and provide some organizational depth for the club.

Blach was designated for assignment Saturday.

Blach will have his contract selected from Triple-A Albuquerque, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blach was signed to an NRI deal before the start of the spring season, and the left-hander has impressed in the Cactus League with a 0.93 ERA and 8:2 K:BB over 9.2 innings with the Rockies. Blach will be a part of the Colorado bullpen, and likely get the ball in the middle-innings as a potential bridge to Daniel Bard.

Blach, who re-signed with the Rockies on Jan. 11 on a minor-league deal, threw his first live batting practice session of the spring Monday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The soft-tossing southpaw had elected free agency following the 2022 season, but after assessing his options on the open market for two months, he ultimately chose to stick around in Colorado. He's attending big-league camp this spring and will be looking to compete for a long-relief role out of the Rockies bullpen. Blach tossed 44.1 innings for the big club in 2022, logging a 5.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB.
