Blanco stole a base as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Blanco's theft was his 20th steal of the year, coming on his 25th attempt. Of the 26 players to reach that threshold so far this year, Blanco by far has the fewest plate appearances (104) -- the next closest player is Pete Crow-Armstrong (233). With MJ Melendez getting platooned in left field, Blanco has picked up some at-bats versus left-handed pitchers, but he's been sharing the short side of the platoon with Garrett Hampson in recent weeks. Blanco's value to Kansas City lies in his speed and defense off the bench, which gives him little path to fantasy usefulness.
