Blach will be a part of the Orioles' 60-man player pool this season.

EDGE Analysis

He is not on the 40-man roster, but Blach is now eligible to provide major-league depth in 2020. The 29-year-old southpaw has a 4.99 ERA in 326.1 career MLB innings.

Blach was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will remain in Baltimore's system after logging a 12.00 ERA in 27 innings splitting time between the Orioles and Giants.

Blach was designated for assignment by Baltimore on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach recently lost his starting role and will now lose his roster spot as well. It's hard to argue with the Orioles' decision, as the lefty owns a 12.00 ERA and a 20:17 K:BB in 27 innings for San Francisco and Baltimore this season. Eric Hanhold was claimed off waivers in a corresponding move.

The Orioles appear to have shifted Blach to a bullpen role following his Sept. 10 start versus the Dodgers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After returning from Triple-A Norfolk at the beginning of the month, Blach made two turns through the rotation, logging 7.1 innings between the outings and giving up eight earned runs on 11 hits and five walks. The Orioles inserted Gabriel Ynoa into the rotation over the weekend in Detroit and don't include Blach among their probable starters for the next four contests, essentially signaling that the soft-tossing lefty will work in relief moving forward.

Blach (1-3) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three across 2.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Blach managed to retired the first batter of the game but then proceeded to allow six of the next eight batters he faced to reach base. That resulted in four earned runs in the first inning before he allowed a two-run homer to Corey Seager in the third frame to sufficiently sink his outing. Since joining the Orioles, Blach has surrendered 19 earned runs across 16.2 frames.

Blach is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach will face a familiar foe in the Dodgers after spending the first few seasons of his career with the Giants. The 28-year-old has struggled with a 10.95 ERA, 2.15 WHIP and 17:16 K:BB this season but pitched well in his last start with two runs allowed over five innings.

Blach (1-2) threw five innings and allowed two runs on two hits and four walks and earned the win in a 4-2 decision over the Rays in the first game of a doubleheader.

EDGE Analysis

Blach shut out the Rays through the first three innings, but was tagged for a two-run homer from Travis d'Arnaud in the fourth. The 28-year-old was lifted after 75 pitches, and has been shaky with his new team. In three appearances with the Orioles since joining the team from the Giants, Blach has allowed 13 earned runs in 14.1 innings with a 12:10 K:BB. Overall, Blach has posted an ugly 10.95 ERA, 2.15 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 24.2 innings this season.

Blach will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to start Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach has struggled across three starts with the Orioles since joining the team at the beginning of August, allowing 19 runs (18 earned) while posting a 12:8 K:BB across 13.1 innings. It's unclear if he'll remain in the rotation or head to the bullpen following Tuesday's outing.

Blach (0-2) took the loss after surrendering seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over four innings Friday against the Rays. He was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after the game, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach allowed all seven of his runs in the second inning, resulting in a 7-1 loss for his club. The southpaw has struggled in the big leagues this season, posting a 12.81 ERA and 2.39 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 19.2 innings. The Orioles won't need a fifth starter until rosters expand in September.

Blach allowed five runs on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts across 5.1 innings during a no-decision against the Red Sox on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles spotted Blach a six-run lead, but the Red Sox scored 13 of the final 14 runs in the game, five of which came against Blach. The 28-year-old has allowed at least five runs in three of his four outings this season, so obviously that's led to some ugly numbers. He is 0-1 with a 12.06 ERA, 2.30 WHIP and 13 strikeouts with 10 walks in 15.2 innings during 2019.
