Geoff Blum has reached an agreement to join the Astros' television broadcast team as a color analyst.

This effectively means that he's retired from baseball. Blum was limited to just 17 games during the 2012 season due to an oblique injury. The 39-year-old infielder played with six teams during his 14-year MLB career, including two stints with the Astros. He'll call 60 games in 2013. Jan 12 - 10:22 PM

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks released INF Geoff Blum.

Blum, who is in the second season of a two-year, $2.7 million contract, announced the news of his release via his personal Twitter account. The 39-year-old infielder has been limited to just 17 games this season due to an oblique injury, but he could latch on elsewhere as a bench player.

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks are expected to release Geoff Blum.

Blum revealed the news himself on Twitter. He's batted just .143/.194/.143 while spending two months of the year on the DL with a torn oblique muscle. The 39-year-old could catch on somewhere with a minor league deal if he chooses to continue his career.

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks activated INF Geoff Blum from the 60-day disabled list.

Blum batted just .237 (9-for-38) over 12 games during his rehab assignment, but the important part is that he didn't feel any discomfort with his oblique muscle. The Diamondbacks placed John McDonald (back) on the disabled list in a corresponding roster move.

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

Geoff Blum (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno Saturday.

Blum has been out for two months with a torn oblique muscle, so he'll probably require more than a handful of at-bats. He should be back before the end of the month if he can avoid a setback.

Diamondbacks transferred INF Geoff Blum from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Blum has been out since the middle of April because of a torn oblique muscle, and can now be ruled out for all of May. The veteran infielder opened the year 1-for-11.

Mon, Apr 30, 2012 12:11:00 PM

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

Geoff Blum (oblique) said Thursday that he could miss as much as four to eight weeks.

Initial reports were that Blum pulled a side muscle during batting practice on Tuesday, but the utility infielder actually suffered a torn oblique. His current timetable will likely leave him sidelined until late May at the earliest.

Geoff Blum - 3B - Diamondbacks

Making his first start since coming off the DL on Thursday, Geoff Blum went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI on Monday.

That silly two-year, $2.7 million deal handed to Blum finally paid off for the Diamomdbacks, as he knocked in his third, fourth and fifth runs of the season. He doesn't figure to play a lot behind Ryan Roberts this month, but perhaps that will change if he puts together a hot streak.

C	1	Miguel Montero

2B	1	Aaron Hill D.L. Aaron Hill will have his left hand examined by a doctor next Monday. That will be two weeks after Hill was hoping to get the go-ahead to resume baseball activities, as his fractured hand is healing much slower than expected. The original timetable had him possibly returning by late May, but he probably won't be activated until well into June now. May 21
	2	Willie Bloomquist D.L. Willie Bloomquist (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment midway through the week. Bloomquist has been playing games at extended spring training and hasn't had any recent setbacks. He should be ready for activation before the end of the month. May 19

CF	1	Adam Eaton D.L. Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said Thursday that Adam Eaton will "probably" get a second opinion on his left elbow from Dr. James Andrews in the coming days. Eaton was recently pulled off his minor league rehab assignment due to renewed discomfort in his elbow. Towers said an MRI showed fluid around his ulnar collateral ligament, but no new damage was found. As of now, he's expected to rest for 2-3 weeks before restarting his rehab program, but he'll get Andrews' opinion just to be on the safe side. May 23

	6	Daniel Hudson D.L. Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday. It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	J.J. Putz D.L. J.J. Putz will not require major elbow surgery. Putz has been diagnosed with a sprained ligament, a strained flexor pronator and nerve irritation in his right elbow -- all of which can be addressed through rehab. He will try to return before the end of the 2013 season. Heath Bell has taken over Arizona's ninth-inning gig. May 9
