Blalock

This trade was announced earlier in the day and is now official. We can’t imagine Blalock earns a spot in the Marlins rotation.

Blalock was designated for assignment last week to make room on the 40-man roster for Michael Lorenzen. The 25-year-old posted a 9.36 ERA in 58 2/3 innings for the Rockies. It remains to be seen what role the Marlins have in mind for him, but it’s unlikely he’ll have much fantasy value in 2026.

The Rockies needed to make room for Michael Lorenzen on the 40-man roster, so Blalock was the choice to be let go. The 25-year-old posted a 9.36 ERA in 58 2/3 innings for the Rockies last season.

Blalock gave up six hits, walked two and struck out one. The 24-year-old won his last start despite allowing six runs, but wasn’t as lucky this time. Blalock has now allowed at least five runs in six consecutive starts. Surely he’s looking forward to the offseason and putting his 9.36 ERA behind him.

Blalock gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out four. The 24-year-old has allowed at least five runs in five consecutive starts. Blalock has a 9.16 ERA and was still able to beat the Angels. He’s off the fantasy radar for his start next week against the Mariners on the road.

Blalock also issued a pair of walks in the contest and didn’t record a single strikeout. The 24-year-old hurler was pressed into action after Chase Dollander (knee) landed on the injured list and his return to the Rockies’ rotation did not go well. He served up three home runs in the contest — a two-run blast to Fernando Tatis Jr. in the second inning and a pair of solo shots to Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill in the third. He’ll carry a horrifying 9.00 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and a 22/20 K/BB ratio (50 innings) into Friday’s battle against the Angels.

With Chase Dollander (knee) landing on the injured list on Saturday, Blalock will get another opportunity to show what he can do at the big league level. The 24-year-old hurler sports a troublesome 8.62 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and a 22/18 K/BB ratio over 47 innings with the Rockies this season. He’ll start on Saturday evening against the Padres in San Diego.

Blalock has been shipped back to Triple-A with veteran Antonio Senzatela returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old righty was hit hard in three consecutive starts following a brilliant six-inning outing against the Guardians back on July 28. The -year-old righty boasts a calamitous 8.62 ERA across 47 innings (11 appearances, nine starts) this season at the highest level.

They say that if you don’t have anything nice to say, you shouldn’t say anything at all. Blalock faces the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Blalock was able to not pick up a loss because his counterpart in Eduardo Rodriguez was just as bad. The 24-year-old had a nice run near the end of July, but this makes back-to-back ineffective outings to push his ERA to an ugly 7.89. He’ll have a rematch with Arizona on Thursday. Hard pass.
