According to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors, the Padres have called up Kyle Blanks. There's nothing official from the team yet, but this could indicate that the struggling Anthony Rizzo is being sent to the minors or that Ryan Ludwick has been traded. Blanks, who underwent Tommy John surgery last year, is batting .351/.421/.716 with 11 homers and 35 RBI with Triple-A Tucson.
