The Giants outrighted Blanco to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco went unclaimed off waivers after the Giants designated him for assignment over the weekend when fellow outfielder Hunter Pence returned from the disabled list. The 34-year-old Blanco failed to impress at the dish over his 42 games for the Giants, reaching base at a .289 clip and producing only eight extra-base hits in 129 plate appearances.

Blanco was designated for assignment by the Giants and will report to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco already cleared waivers and accepted his assignment to Sacramento, as the Giants needed to clear space for the return of Hunter Pence (thumb) from the disabled list. Blanco had a .242/.289/.350 slash line with 37 strikeouts in 120 at-bats for San Francisco this season.

Blanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco is in the midst of a modest four-game hitting streak, but he'll grab a seat on the bench Thursday after starting three consecutive games in the outfield. Gorkys Hernandez will start in left field and bat leadoff in his stead.

Blanco is not in the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco posted a trio of strikeouts Saturday and will now head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Brandon Belt will take over in left field with Pablo Sandoval filling in at first base.

Blanco went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco reclaimed his pot atop the Giants' lineup after a day off Wednesday, and he responded with his first long ball of the campaign. The veteran is still slashing a pedestrian .262/.303/.381 through 89 plate appearances, but he is the only player out of a ragtag center field trio including Austin Jackson and Gorkys Hernandez to have done anything of consequence offensively this year. Blanco will continue to see regular at-bats against righties until Hunter Pence (thumb) and Mac Williamson (concussion) return, which may not be any time soon.

Blanco is not in the lineup Wednesday in Philadelphia, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Blanco will head to the bench for the second game of Saturday's twin bill with a lefty in Alex Wood toeing the rubber for the Dodgers. The veteran went 3-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Game 1. Austin Jackson will start in center and hit eighth in his place.
