Kyle Blanks to the d.l., Jake Smolinski recalled
The Rangers have placed Kyle Blanks on the disabled list with a pilonidal cyst, and have recalled Jake Smolinski
The scouting report on Kyle Blanks is that he mashed lefthanded pitching and can't stay healthy. That, as it turns out, is what the Rangers have gotten from him.
Blanks, who started the season in the minors while dealing with the recovery from an Achilles injury, was brought up in April, has crushed lefthanded pitching, and is now being placed on the 15 day disabled list with a cyst. Per Jeff Wilson on Twitter, the cyst is on his "back side," which seems to be a euphemism for his booty.
