High-A Aberdeen reinstated Blach (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Wednesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery in July 2020 before re-signing with Baltimore on a minor-league deal this spring, Blach was assigned to Aberdeen and placed on the IL prior to the start of the minor-league season. The Orioles are seemingly satisfied with how the 30-year-old southpaw fared during a seven-outing rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, where Blach struck out 10 over eight scoreless frames. Given his prior experience in the majors between 2016 and 2019, Blach likely won't stick around at High-A for long and could eventually settle at Triple-A Norfolk by season's end.
