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 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.

Blach was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blach figures to be in line to start Friday's game against the Reds after the Giants placed Derek Holland (finger) on the 10-day injured list Monday. Blach made 13 starts in 2018 for San Francisco and posted a 4.25 ERA with 75 strikeouts over 118.2 innings.

Blach was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blach lost out on both a starting role and a bullpen spot, but he may not be off the team for long, as he's likely to be one of the first pitchers called up in case of injury. In 118.2 innings as a swingman last season, the lefty recorded a mediocre 4.25 ERA, with his quite low 14.7 percent strikeout rate preventing him from being much more than a back-end starter.

Blach tossed 2.1 innings while giving up no runs on one hit, walking two, and striking out three in Monday's spring win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Blach lowered his spring ERA to 3.24 over 8.1 innings, all coming in multi-inning relief appearances. The soft-tossing southpaw has had moderate success as a starter, but it looks like the team isn't giving him too much of a shot at winning a rotation spot based on his usage this spring.

Blach has made his last three appearances out of the Giants' bullpen, tossing 5.2 innings over that span and giving up two runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Blach picked up a spot start Aug. 11 against the Pirates after Chris Stratton was dropped from the rotation, but the lefty was unable to impress in the outing, giving up four runs over four innings to take the loss. The Giants have since opted to go with Casey Kelly as their fifth starter, with Stratton also set to rejoin the rotation Tuesday against the Mets to replace the injured Dereck Rodriguez (hamstring). Manager Bruce Bochy indicated that Rodriguez will likely be able to return from the disabled list over the weekend, so any window for Blach to rejoin the rotation looks like it has probably closed at this point.

Blach (6-7) lasted just four innings after giving up four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five in a loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The long reliever was promoted to the rotation following Chris Stratton's struggles as the Giants' fifth starter, but he failed to provide improved results in the role. One positive that can be taken away from Blach's start was the five strikeouts, which is a category in which the southpaw has struggled in this season (5.2 K/9). It is unclear whether the 27-year-old will get another turn in the rotation, especially after Casey Kelly posted five shutout innings in relief Saturday.

Blach will take the mound for a start versus Pittsburgh on Saturday, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark Blach's 13th start of the year for the Giants, though he's served exclusively out of the bullpen since late May. During those 12 starts, he logged a 4.90 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with a 30:23 K:BB in 60.2 innings. Blach will briefly enter the rotation due to the demotion of Christ Stratton and with Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) and Johnny Cueto (elbow) on the DL. Though Cueto is lost for the year, Samardzija is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, and is optimistic that he'll be back in action later this month.
