The Orioles apparently are making an adjustment to their pitching staff.
Scott Blewett was claimed on waivers today from the Twins and is expected to report to the club this week, perhaps by Tuesday night’s series opener against the Guardians at Camden Yards.
Left-hander Luis González, a surprise addition to the 40-man roster in November, was designated for assignment to clear room for Blewett.
Blewett has made 19 relief appearances in the majors from 2020-25, with no appearances in 2022-23, and posted a 2.18 ERA in 33 innings. He debuted with the Royals and signed twice with Minnesota as a free agent last year after they outrighted him off the 40-man roster. He’s out of minor league options, so today’s move would impact the Orioles’ roster unless they attempt to sneak him through waivers.
A corresponding move otherwise is pending.
