Blanco (oblique) had his contract purchased by the Diamondbacks on Friday, Tommy Stokke of FanRag Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Blanco has been rehabbing in the minor leagues since suffering an oblique strain in spring training, but it appears he's set to join the D-Backs after the difficult offseason. The 33-year-old has spent the last five seasons as a mainstay in the Giants' outfield and has swung a hot bat in rehab starts (9-for-23 with three RBI), so it isn't unrealistic to see him getting solid action as a reserve outfielder behind A.J. Pollock, Yasmany Tomas, and David Peralta.
