Joe Blanton to start Saturday for Royals
Joe Blanton will start for the Royals on Saturday against the Blue Jays. Edinson Volquez's next start will be Sunday.
What It Means:
Blanton is about to go back to the bullpen with the return of Yordano Ventura from the DL but needs to start one more due to yesterday's rain out. Blanton has pitched admirably in four starts. Despite his 5.30 ERA, he has a 3.39 xFIP. He'll go against the Blue Jays who rank 3rd in wOBA and 2nd in home runs off right-handed pitching.
