Newsbreakers
August 31, 2009
It has been determined that Kyle Blanks has a partial tear of his plantar fascia, according to the Padres' twitter page.
Our View:
Blanks was fitted for a cast, and will be re-evaluated at some point next week. The rookie outfielder may be done for 2009.
August 29, 2009
Kyle Blanks (strained right arch) has been placed on the 15-day disabled list.
Our View:
A bad break for the Padres, as the young Blanks had been one of their hottest hitters lately, hitting .288 with ten home runs since the All-Star break. He is expected to play again this season.
August 29, 2009
Kyle Blanks is considered day-to-day after aggravating his sore foot during Friday's game against the Marlins, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
The severity of the injury is yet to be determined, and skipper Bud Black is hoping for the best. We will keep you posted on his status.
August 28, 2009
Kyle Blanks was forced to leave the Padres game against the Marlins on Friday after aggravating a right foot injury, according to Padres.com.
Our View:
Blanks missed three games earlier this week with a sore right foot. More as it develops.
August 23, 2009
Kyle Blanks was forced to leave the Padres game against the Cardinals on Saturday after injuring his heel running the bases, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock.
Our View:
Blanks has been one of the Padres' hottest hitters of late, clubbing three home runs and driving in six since the beginning of the week. More is expected to be known about his condition later on Sunday.
August 21, 2009
Kyle Blanks hit his third home run in four games on Thursday, but unfortunately for San Diego it would be their only run, as they lost 5-1 to St. Louis at home.
Our View:
For goodness sakes, if you haven't already taken a flier on Blanks and his nine home runs since July 21 (six more than Manny Ramirez in that period), do so.
August 18, 2009
Kyle Blanks carried the Padres in tonight's 4-1 win over the Cubs at Petco Park, as he went 2-for-4 with three RBI. He hit a single and a three-run homer off Kevin Gregg in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Our View:
Blanks was a hero for San Digo tonight, while ending a nine-game skid without an RBI. He is worth targeting if still dangling on the waiver wire in NL-only leagues.
July 29, 2009
Kyle Blanks homered for the fourth time in the last ten days, as the Padres routed Aaron Harang and the Reds 7-1 in Cincinnati.
Our View:
Blanks is very quickly starting to look like a legitimate home run threat. Gobble him up in NL-only leagues if you need an outfielder.
July 26, 2009
Kyle Blanks hit another ninth inning home run on Sunday, this one tying a game 2-2 between the Pads and Nats. But it went for naught, as the Padres would go on to lose 3-2 in ten.
Our View:
Blanks is hitting just .191, but has hit three home runs in the last week and is someone to keep an eye on in NL-only leagues.
July 23, 2009
Kyle Blanks was productive in tonight's 9-4 loss at Philadelphia, as he went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored. He hit a single and a two-run homer off Cole Hamels.
Our View:
Blanks has a hit in three straight games, with two homers over the span. The rookie is worth a look for NL-only leagues while swinging a hot stick.
July 22, 2009
Kyle Blanks hit his first career home run in the ninth inning of a 3-1 game on Tuesday, but alas, it was a solo shot, and the Marlins held on for a 3-2 victory.
Our View:
Blanks has really struggled since being called up this season, and is a way's off from being a meaningful fantasy contributor.
June 19, 2009
The Padres have promoted Kyle Blanks to the big leagues, according to Baseball America.
Our View:
Blanks was hitting .283 at Triple-A Portland to go along with 12 home runs and 38 RBIs. He will likely either play left field or spell Adrian Gonzalez at first base for the Padres.
