Blanco had his contract purchased from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco will take the roster spot of Steven Duggar (shoulder), who was sent to the shelf in a corresponding roster move. The veteran outfielder hit just .242/.289/.350 across 42 games with the big club earlier in the season. If Duggar's injury proves to be season-ending, Blanco could settle into the short side of a platoon in center field with Gorkys Hernandez.
