3B Andres Blanco, making his first start since going on the disabled list July 25 due to a fractured left index finger, had a rough game defensively Wednesday. Making just his 10th start of the season at third base, Blanco was charged with one error and also had another ball that bounced off of him for a hit. Blanco also went 0-for-4. To be fair, however, he hit three line drives and didn't get any breaks all night.

2B Andres Blanco was activated from the 15-day disabled list after missing over a month a broken left index finger. Blanco did not play Friday and is hitting .271 with four homers, 21 RBIs and a .767 OPS.

INF Andres Blanco (fractured left index finger) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday. Blanco is hitting .271 with four homers, 21 RBIs and a .767 OPS. The 32-year-old veteran adds value to his club because he is a switch hitter.

3B Andres Blanco left in the fifth because a broken and bloody left index finger. He got hurt making a play at third with the Pirates' Gregory Polanco sliding into the base. Blanco is likely to be put on the DL. "That's going to hurt us," Mackanin said. "We always could rely on him to play solid defense, come up with big hits. Anywhere we put him, he plays solid defense. He's just a great guy to have around." Mackanin said Blanco will be further evaluated so surgery, perhaps to clean out the wound that required four stitches, had not been ruled out.
Thu Jun 23 201604:182B Andres Blanco 3-4 with solo home run in third inning
2B Andres Blanco went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in the third inning. The three hits matched a career high, last accomplished May 26 against the Washington Nationals. The home run was his first since June 3. Almost half of Blanco's hits on the season (14 of 30 overall) have gone for extra bases.

INF Andres Blanco started at second base for the second consecutive game Sunday. He also served as the team's leadoff hitter in a 5-1 loss. The veteran utility man is expected to see more time, according to manager Pete Mackanin, as the Phillies continue to search for offense.

2B Andres Blanco was the only Phillie to have a multi-hit game on Saturday, going 2-for-4 to raise his average to .271. Thats the fifth multi-hit game of the season for Blanco, who has played all four infield positions this season in a reserve role.

2B/3B Andres Blanco stole home on the first end of a double steal in the second inning Wednesday. Blanco and RF Peter Bourjos were on first and third in the second when they got the steal sign. Bourjos made it to second and Blanco got the Phillies' first steal of home since Chase Utley in 2009. "The throw was up and wide," Detroit manager Gene Lamont said. "That makes it tough for the shortstop to handle."
Wed Apr 27 201603:54SS Andres Blanco had three hits Tuesday against Washington
SS Andres Blanco had three hits Tuesday against Washington. He is now hitting .346. "Best utility man I have ever seen," manager Pete Mackanin said.
Wed Apr 20 201604:032B Andres Blanco made fourth start and batted third for first ti...
2B Andres Blanco made his fourth start and batted third for the first time this season against the Mets. "He's swinging the bat as well, if not better, than anybody we've got," manager Pete Mackanin said before the game, "so I just thought, put him in there and see if he can jump-start the offense a little bit." Blanco went 2-for-3 to raise his average to .353, but his base-running error short-circuited a first-inning threat. With Odubel Herrera on first base he singled to center, and Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes threw late to third in an attempt to cut down Herrera. Blanco, however, strayed too far off first and was tagged out in a rundown. Ryan Howard then flew out to end the inning.
