Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blanco has made just 70 starts across the past seasons but now has 55 steals while primarily serving as a defensive replacement and pinch runner. His bat has actually been solid through 277 plate appearances in his MLB career with a .259/.318/.409 slash line, but most of that success has come against left-handed pitching with an .874 OPS. Blanco could fill a similar role for the Royals in 2025, though that production versus southpaws could help him get more platoon opportunities. Read Past Outlooks
Activated from injured list
The Royals activated Blanco (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Blanco has been shelved for most of the season with right Achilles tendinopathy but is ready to return after playing 12 rehab games. The speedster will likely operate in a reserve role for now, but there's potential for him to move up the depth chart among a Royals outfield lacking talent.
