TY BLACH NEWS

Three earned runs in no-decision Blach did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings in a 12-4 loss against the Rays. He struck out four.

Impact Blach found himself in an immediate jam by loading the bases before recording an out in the first inning, but the southpaw was able to limit the damage to one and escape the frame. The 32-year-old then yielded a run-scoring single to Jose Siri in the third and a two-run single to Yandy Diaz in the fourth. Since Blach returned to the big-league squad on June 30, he has posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB across 30 innings.

Solid in no-decision Blach did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.

Impact Blach managed to escape Tuesday's home start relatively unscathed, with all of the damage against him coming via a two-run homer by Christian Walker in the third. Blach has been a reliable arm for the Rockies since entering the rotation and owns a 3.05 ERA with an 8:6 K:BB over his last four outings (20.2 innings). He's tentatively scheduled to make his next appearance on the road against the Rays.

Tosses quality start Thursday Blach allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters over six-plus innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.

Impact Blach got through six frames without allowing a run before serving up a solo homer to Max Muncy to begin the seventh. That led to Blach getting the hook and having to settle for a no-decision, though it was still a promising outing overall. The left-hander finished with his first quality start in a campaign during which he's pitched mostly out of the bullpen. Since moving into the rotation at the end of July, Blach has allowed five runs over 15.2 innings for a solid 2.87 ERA. However, he's struck out just six batters over that span and has just 13 punchouts across 32 frames overall on the campaign.

Falters versus Cardinals 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.

Impact 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.

Remaining in rotation 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 Den...

Impact 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.

Draws another starting assignment Blach is slated to start Sunday's game against the Athletics at Coors Field, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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.

Three shutout innings as opener 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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.

Back in camp on NRI deal 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.

Impact 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.

Recalled to big leagues Blach was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Impact Blach currently holds a 6.30 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 40 innings in 20 big-league appearances this season.
