A non-roster invite to spring training, Bleich is having a solid season in the Pirates' organization this season. After making one appearance for High-A Bradenton, he then moved up to Double-A Altoona, where he holds a 3.25 ERA in 36 innings with a 1.33 WHIP. | ||||||

Bleich signed a minor league contract with the Pirates on Tuesday that includes an invite to spring training, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. | ||||||
With Bleich struggling in his first stint at Triple-A at the start of last season, posting a 6.68 ERA over 11 appearances (five starts), the Yankees decided to move him back down to Double-A Trenton. The lefty got back on track, with a 3.39 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over his final 15 starts, but the Pirates will likely want to see him have some success at Triple-A before entrusting him with major league innings. | ||||||
