Blach went unclaimed after being designated for assignment on Sunday. He can elect free agency, and will be a minor-league free agent at the end of the year regardless.

Blach gets DFA’d for a second time this year after giving up five runs in 3 2/3 innings in a start against the Brewers on Saturday. He’s 3-8 with a 6.94 ERA for the Rockies.

Blach gave up six hits, walked none and struck out one. It’s the third time in his last four starts that he’s allowed at least five runs. Blach was hit hard as he allowed home runs to Willy Adames, Gary Sanchez and William Contreras. He has a 6.94 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 71 1/3 innings this year. Blach is off the fantasy radar. The 33-year-old left-hander is set to face the Tigers on the road next week.

Blach, who spent August back in the minors, was making his first appearance for the Rockies since July 26 and first start since June 10. He wound up taking the loss, leaving him 3-7 with a 6.65 ERA in 67 2/3 innings. If he remains in the rotation, he’ll face the Brewers next.
