Registers steal in win
OFKansas City Royals
September 26, 2024
Blanco stole a base and scored a run as a pinch runner in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
Blanco's contributions continue to be limited to off-the-bench work. He's logged just one at-bat in September, but he's stolen six bases on seven attempts over 10 games this month. The speedster is up to 31 thefts this season. With four other outfielders capable of hitting right-handed (three righties and a switch hitter), Blanco is unlikely to see even short-side platoon work for the rest of the regular season or the postseason.
