The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Dairon Blanco on the 10-day injured list Monday with tendinopathy in his right Achilles.
Blanco, 31, stole two bases and scored two runs in the season-opening series against the Cleveland Guardians.
He is a career .258 hitter with seven homers, 33 RBIs and 58 steals in 165 games since making his debut with the Royals in 2022.
The Royals called up infielder/outfielder Tyler Tolbert, 27, from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Drafted by Kansas City in the 13th round in 2019, Tolbert has yet to make his major league debut.
