Dairon Blanco Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Week
Dairon Blanco (Achilles) received a platelet-rich plasma injection on April 4 after his Achilles flared up on March 30. Blanco then ran the bases for the first time last Friday, and he could start a minor-league rehab assignment this week. The 32-year-old veteran is attempting to return from right-Achilles tendinopathy, which landed him on the 10-day injured list back on March 31. If he is able to start a rehab assignment this week and avoid setbacks, he could return to the Royals next week. Blanco was able to take part in the team's pre-game activities on Wednesday and is getting close to his return to the big leagues. When he's ready, the Cuban outfielder will be a bench option for the Royals most nights and will mainly be useful in deeper fantasy leagues for his speed -- he stole a combined 55 bases in 2023 and 2024.
