Blach is listed as the Orioles' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Blach was called up from Triple-A Norfolk when a sixth rotation member was needed for the Orioles' Aug. 12 doubleheader with the Yankees. Taking the hill in the second game of the twin bill in his Baltimore debut, Blach lasted just four innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits and three walks. That ugly showing apparently won't disqualify him from earning another chance to lock down a rotation spot, though he may need to demonstrate improvement Sunday to earn any future turns.

Blach (0-1) gave up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out four through four innings to take the loss against the Yankees on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a tough day for Blach. The 28-year-old gave up four runs in the first four frames and seemed to settle down with an eight-pitch third inning, but he went on to allow another four runs over the next two innings. Blach was called up for the second game of a doubleheader, so he may be returning to Triple-A after this performance. Blach has a 13.94 ERA with a 7:7 K:BB through 10.1 innings this season.

The Orioles recalled Blach from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of his scheduled start Monday in the second game of a doubleheader with the Yankees, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach will step into the Baltimore rotation for his team debut, but he won't be guaranteed any further turns with the big club if he fails to keep the Yankees' bats at bay, something the entire pitching staff has struggled to do all season. The soft-tossing lefty has posted a 5.98 ERA and 1.63 WHIP across 93.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Blach will start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore will have to make a roster move in between the two games to officially add Blach to the roster. He has a 5.98 ERA in the minors this year, which, coupled with the matchup, makes him a very unappealing fantasy option.

Blach is expected to join the Orioles for Monday's doubleheader, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will either start Game 2 or offer bullpen help as the 26th man. Blach has a 5.98 ERA in the minors this year and would be an unappealing fantasy option regardless of his role in the twin bill.

Blach was claimed by the Orioles and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues with the Giants but never really established himself, recording a 4.56 ERA and a poor 12.4 percent strikeout rate. He owns a 5.93 ERA in 91 innings with Triple-A Sacramento this season.

Blach was designated for assignment Saturday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach bounced between the big-league club and Triple-A Sacramento this season, but now finds himself removed from the 40-man roster. In 6.1 major-league innings in 2019, the 28-year-old gave up 10 earned runs off 14 hits while only managing a 3:4 K:BB. Right-hander Logan Webb was reinstated from the inactive list in a corresponding move.

Blach was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach was recalled to San Francisco on Friday. He made one appearance with the club prior to being optioned and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and a walk across three innings.

Blach was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blach has made just one appearance in the big leagues this season, as he was rocked for seven runs over 3.1 innings of work. He'll aim for a better result this time around.

Blach was returned to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Blach made just one appearance during his most recent stint with the big club, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one across 3.1 innings of relief during Tuesday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers. Stephen Vogt was summoned to the majors in a corresponding roster move.
