"The Orioles announced this afternoon that reliever Scott Blewett accepted an outright assignment to the team's Florida complex. The righty went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Baltimore also activated Adley Rutschman from the injured list. Infielder Luis Vázquez was optioned to the complex in a corresponding move. Baltimore acquired Blewett in a cash trade with Atlanta in June."
"He went down with an elbow injury a few weeks later and has spent the past two months on the 60-day injured list. The O's decided not to put him back on the MLB roster once he returned to health last week. Blewett is out of options, so the Orioles needed to send him through waivers at that point. The 29-year-old Blewett has been outrighted a few times in his career."
Reliever Scott Blewett accepted an outright assignment to the Orioles' Florida complex after going unclaimed on waivers following a designation for assignment. Baltimore activated catcher Adley Rutschman from the injured list and optioned infielder Luis Vázquez to the complex. Baltimore acquired Blewett from Atlanta in a cash trade in June. Blewett suffered an elbow injury weeks later and spent about two months on the 60-day injured list. The Orioles did not return him to the MLB roster upon his recent recovery. Blewett is out of options and will qualify for minor-league free agency after the season, posting a 5.48 ERA in 44 1/3 innings this year.
