Mon Apr 21 01:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Braves Add to Bullpen, Acquire Right-Handed Reliever Scott Blewett
**Atlanta, GA – April 20, 2025** – The Atlanta Braves announced today the acquisition of right-handed pitcher Scott Blewett from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for cash considerations. Blewett, 29, was designated for assignment by the Orioles yesterday, marking the second time in less than a week he’s changed teams after being DFA’d. He previously pitched for the Minnesota Twins earlier this season.
Despite his frequent roster moves – including multiple DFA’s and outright assignments throughout his career – Blewett has demonstrated impressive performance in limited major league action. Over parts of four seasons with the Kansas City Royals, Twins, and Orioles, he boasts a 1.93 ERA, a 23.1% strikeout rate, and a 9.4% walk rate in 37 ⅓ innings.
Blewett’s strong numbers, however, haven’t translated into consistent major league roster spots due to his lack of minor league options. This necessitates his DFA before any potential demotion to the minors. The Braves’ bullpen has seen significant turnover recently, with the team actively seeking inexpensive relief pitching. The acquisition of Blewett, along with recent additions Rafael Montero and Jose Suarez, reflects this ongoing effort to bolster their relief corps. The Braves will hope Blewett can continue his strong performance in Atlanta.
