Blankenhorn was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn was sent to Triple-A Syracuse on June 11, and he hit .389 with three homers, a double, 13 RBI, six runs and two stolen bases across seven games during his most recent stint in the minors. He'll now return to the major-league club after Jonathan Villar (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, but he should mainly serve in a depth role.

This will mark Blankenhorn's fourth club already this season, as he previously latched on with the Dodgers and Mariners after starting the season with the Twins. He'll now have the opportunity to join New York's major-league roster for the time being. Wilfredo Tovar was designated for assignment in a corresponding roster move.

Blankenhorn was designated for assignment by the Twins on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn has spent most of the 2021 campaign at the Twins' alternate training site and didn't appear in a game during a brief stint on the major-league roster. He'll now be removed from the 40-man roster as part of a shuffle after right-hander Derek Law's contract was selected Saturday.

Blankenhorn was optioned to the Twins' alternate training site Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Blankenhorn was called up Tuesday but didn't receive a single plate appearance during his very brief time with the team. He could be up again later this season when the Twins need a utility option, but he's unlikely to play a significant role.

Blankenhorn was recalled prior to Tuesday's game in Oakland, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins placed Max Kepler and Kyle Garlick on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, and with the team on the road, only the players who were traveling on the taxi squad were options to join the active roster. Blankenhorn can masquerade at several positions, primarily third base, second base and left field. He could see the occassional start in the short term.
