MLB Note - Atlanta Braves Blair, Aaron

Jul 26, 2017 - 10:35 AM RHP Aaron Blair received a $1.435 million signing bonus from the Diamondbacks after being the No. 36 overall pick in the 2013 draft. But he never got to pitch a game in Chase Field after being dealt to Atlanta in late 2015, along with OF Ender Inciarte and SS Dansby Swanson in the deal, for RHP Shelby Miller. On Wednesday, he'll finally get the chance to start in the Diamondbacks' home ballpark as he makes his first start of the season for Atlanta. He was 2-7 with a 7.59 ERA last season. Blair joined the Braves in Los Angeles last weekend in case LHP Jaime Garcia was traded to Minnesota, but the deal didn't go through until Monday. Blair is 6-5 with a 4.86 ERA this season at Triple-A Gwinnett.
