Giants purchased the contract of RHP Aaron Blair from the West Virginia Power of the independent Atlantic League.
Blair made only one appearance with the Power before the Giants elected to scoop him up. The 29-year-old former 2013 first-round competitive balance selection hasn't appeared in the major leagues since 2017. He spent last spring with the Diamondbacks prior to the global pandemic. He'll report to Double-A Richmond to serve as organizational pitching depth.
Blair signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Blair was released by Braves in May of 2018 after undergoing surgery to repair a capsule tear in his shoulder. The 27-year-old had his longest major-league stint in 2016 with Atlanta, recording a 7.59 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 46 strikeouts across 70 innings. Blair will look to wipe away any injury-related doubts and begin a new chapter to his professional career with Arizona that will almost certainly begin in the minors.

Blair underwent surgery for a capsule tear in his shoulder Tuesday, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Blair will be forced to miss the rest of the 2018 campaign as he begins a lengthy rehab process. He'll look to continue his development at some point next season. Blair has spent most of his career in the minors, although he does have some experience with the big club. The 25-year-old has started 16 games for the Braves across two seasons, over which he's struggled mightily and scraped together a 7.89 ERA and 1.73 WHIP.
