Padres recalled 1B/OF Kyle Blanks from Triple-A Tucson. As expected. Blanks was mashing the ball in the minors, putting up nine home runs and a 1.014 OPS through 27 games, so the hope is that he can provide a jolt to a sagging offense. The 27-year-old could see at-bats between the outfield and first base. Watch his playing time carefully, as he could be a useful addition in deeper fantasy leagues.
