The San Diego Padres have reinstated outfielder Kyle Blanks from the 15-day disabled list Saturday, MLB.com reports. The Padres have optioned reliever Anthony Bass to Triple-A Tucson to make room.
Bass made two appearances during this stint with the club. He gave up five runs his last time out over 1 2/3 innings against the Dodgers.
Blanks has hit .256/.318/.425 with eight home runs and 34 RBI in 219 at-bats as he returns for San Diego. He was out since July 12 due to an Achilles injury.
