Rangers claim OF Dairon Blanco off waivers from the Royals and place Jordan Montgomery on 60-day IL

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers claimed outfielder Dairon Blanco off waivers from the Kansas City Royals on Sunday and placed left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the 60-day injured list to make room for the 32-year-old Cuban on the roster.

Blanco, who was designated for assignment by Kansas City last week, batted .257 with seven home runs and 34 RBIs in 171 career major league games over four seasons. He has stolen 59 bases in 73 tries, and his 64 appearances as a pinch-runner since 2022 is the most in the majors.
