TRADE UPDATE: Orioles Reunite With Veteran Reliever In Trade With Braves

The Baltimore Orioles have reunited with right-handed reliever Scott Blewett from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations, according to MLB Trade Rumors.

Atlanta designated Blewett for assignment to bring franchise legend Craig Kimbrel back to the major leagues.

The Orioles previously designated Blewett for assignment just days after acquiring him after the Minnesota Twins placed him on waivers. Blewett appeared in only two games with the Orioles before landing in Atlanta, pitching 4 1/3 innings and not allowing an earned run.

Blewett had a similar stat line with the Twins, pitching 4 2/3 innings and allowing just one earned run.

Blewett would then go on to land a roster spot for longer than a month with the Braves, where he appeared in 11 games with a 5.51 ERA before being traded back to Baltimore.

Blewett is in his fourth season in the majors and has appeared in the most games in his career this season, with 15 across the three different teams he has suited up for.

Blewett is out of options, and teams see that he can be a valuable pickup when available, as he is headed back to a prior employer.

While Blewett has a below-average fastball velocity this season, sitting at 93.4 mph, he has been effective in situations during the season.

Blewett is in the 90th percentile in getting hitters to whiff on his pitches, along with being in the 91st percentile in groundball percentage.

Blewett has yet to stick with a team this season, but with Baltimore faltering, this may be the opportunity he needs to prove himself at the major league level.
