It did not take long for right-handed reliever Scott Blewett to find a new home. Perhaps it would be more accurate to refer to it as a previous, short-term home.

One day after he was designated for assignment by the Braves, the Baltimore Orioles reacquired Blewett for cash considerations on Friday.

Blewett, who is 2-0 with a 3.91 ERA in 15 relief appearances this season, has been DFA’ed and acquired three times this spring. He pitched in a pair of April games for Minnesota, then was designated on April 11 when the Twins recalled Kody Funderburk. The Orioles picked him up on waivers two days later.

The 29-year-old Blewett threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Baltimore, but he was designated when the team needed a starter and recalled right-hander Brandon Young on April 19.

The Braves acquired Blewett on April 20 and he did not allow an earned run in eight of 11 outings. Unfortunately for the well-traveled hurler, he was a major part of the Braves’ bullpen meltdown on Thursday, when they surrendered a 10-4 ninth inning lead and fell 11-10 to the Diamondbacks. He allowed five earned runs in 1 1/3 innings before closer Raisel Iglesias could not hold a 10-8 advantage.

Coincidentally, the Braves on Friday recalled veteran closer Craig Kimbrel, who struggled in Baltimore and was released a season ago.

As of Friday evening, Blewett had not reported to the Orioles, who are in Sacramento this weekend to take on the Athletics this weekend. Another member of the Baltimore bullpen is expected to be designated when Blewett is placed on the active roster.

In a related maneuver, the Orioles recalled outfielder Ramon Laureano (sprained left ankle) from the injured list and designated outfielder Jordyn Adams for assignment, opening a spot on the 40-man roster for Blewett.

In parts of four seasons with the Kansas City Royals (2020-21), Twins (2024-25, Braves (2025) and Orioles (2025), Blewett is 3-1 with a 3.02 ERA in 66 games (two starts) since the Royals drafted him in the second round in 2014.
