Ty Blach Designated For Assignment

Ty Blach's time with San Francisco may soon be coming to an end.

According to The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly, the Giants have designated left-handed pitcher Ty Blach for assignment today. This move was necessary to make room for prospect Logan Webb's return from the Restricted List.

Blach was a great productive pitcher for the 2016-18 seasons with the Giants. His numbers were slightly up then because of the dimensions of Oracle Park, their home field. The lefty posted the league's lowest strikeout total since debuting in late 2016, but he threw a solid 3.84 FIP in 47 appearances (13 starts) for the Giants last season. Unfortunately, that performance wasn't enough to get any favor with the new Giants management that came in in the offseason.

Much of this season has been spent trying to survive in Triple-A. It hasn't gone well so far for Blach, posting a 5.93 ERA/5.26 FIP. While those numbers may seem respectable in the offensive climate that was the PCL, it unfortunately wasn't enough once it made it to the big league level.

Right now, Blach may end up on a new team or possibly back down in Triple-A, where he's hoping that he can improve on those numbers and get back up to a big league club. It may not be enough, though, as his performances have not improved since 2016 and this latest designation may be the last straw in the Giants organization.
