The Brewers released Blanco on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The 36-year-old infielder hasn't appeared in the majors since 2017 and was expected to open the season at Triple-A San Antonio had he stuck around in the Milwaukee organization. Blanco played exclusively with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate at Gwinnett in 2019, slashing .262/.364/.443 over 530 plate appearances.

Blanco signed with the Brewers as a non-roster invitee Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has spent parts of 10 seasons in the big leagues, though he hasn't appeared at the highest level since 2017. With a career .256/.310/.378 slash line, he's unlikely to be more than a bench option if he finds his way onto the big-league roster.

Blanco was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco's strong spring -- during which he went 6-for-14 (.429) with a homer and six RBI -- wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the Braves' Opening Day roster. The veteran infielder will serve as organizational depth.

Blanco signed a minor-league contract which includes an invitation to spring training with the Braves on Friday, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco can fill in all around the infield, but there's not much left in the 34-year-old's bat, which was rarely an asset even when he was younger. He owns a career .256/.310/.378 slash line in parts of 10 big-league seasons and was last seen at the major-league level hitting .192/.257/.292 in 144 plate appearances for the Phillies back in 2017. It would be a surprise to see the veteran win an Opening Day roster spot and an even bigger surprise to see him make a significant impact.

Blanco was placed on the 7-day disabled list with an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers have yet to release any information regarding Blanco's status, though the infielder will be eligible to return from the minor-league DL next Wednesday. Over 21 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs in 2018, he's hitting .329/.405/.479 with 13 RBI.

Blanco signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco will serve as organizational infield depth for the Brewers after being released by the Giants towards the end of spring training. The 33-year-old occupied a utility role for the Phillies over the past four seasons, hitting a combined .257/.320/.422 across 301 games (667 plate appearances).

Blanco was released by the Giants on Friday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco served a utility role for the Phillies for the past four seasons but wasn't able to win a similar job for the Giants this year. The 33-year-old went 6-for-19 this spring, but in a larger sample of 144 plate appearances last season, he hit .192/.257/.292. There may not be another major-league opportunity available for a veteran with a declining bat.

Blanco (laceration) will play in Thursday's Cactus League game against the Mariners, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

The undisclosed open wound that has kept Blanco sidelined for all of exhibition play appears to be fully healed, clearing the way for him to make his Cactus League debut. The 33-year-old will now look to lock down an Opening Day roster spot as the Giants' utility man.

Blanco will be sidelined one week while recovering from an undisclosed open wound, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear, but Blanco will remain on the shelf for at least another week as he waits for the wound to heal. Once healthy, he'll resume his push for an Opening Day roster spot as the Giants' utility man.

Blanco signed a minor-league contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of FanRagSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The deal includes an invitation to spring training, though Blanco will be given the option to sign overseas if he doesn't break camp with the big-league club. The 33-year-old has spent the previous three seasons filling a utility role for the Phillies, hitting a combined .255/.321/.420 in 276 games over that stretch. His batting average dropped all the way to .192 last season, however, and he was ultimately pushed aside in favor of Pedro Florimon. He'll push to make the Giants' Opening Day roster as a utility man in 2018.
