Ronel Blanco

Blanco only allowed three hits, and he issued three walks. The southpaw saw one of the runs score after he left the game on a three-run blast by Wilmer Flores, and he pitched better than this line indicated. It wouldn't have mattered from a win-loss standpoint because of how good Jordan Hicks was. Blanco is scheduled to face the Twins on Sunday.

Blanco had little trouble carving up a Triple-A lineup in his final spring outing, but it was nice to see him look sharp after being hit by a line drive on the right wrist during last Wednesday's spring start against the Mets.

Blanco was removed from his start Wednesday against the Mets after getting struck by a line drive in the fourth inning, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Blanco told reporters afterwards that he's fine after taking a Francisco Lindor line drive to the right wrist during his final inning of work. He was charged with three runs over 3 2/3 innings. He struck out three and also issued three walks. Barring something unexpected, he should be ready to make his next spring start without any issues.

It's unclear whether Blanco is dealing with an injury after taking a Francisco Lindor line drive to the upper body during his final inning of work, but he didn't appear to be in a ton of discomfort afterwards. The Athletic's Chandler Rome adds that he didn't walk back to the clubhouse with a trainer, which is an encouraging sign. There should be an additional update on his status relatively soon.
