Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blanco probably wouldn't have made the Astros' Opening Day rotation last year had the club not been dealing with multiple injuries to its starters. He did crack the rotation, though, and shocked everyone by tossing a no-hitter in his first start of the season. That set the stage for an impressive first full season in the big leagues for the 31-year-old, as Blanco finished fourth in baseball with a 2.80 ERA and tops in the game in holding the opposition to a .188 average. Blanco did have luck on his side, as an xERA of 3.97 and .220 BABIP can attest. That said, his slider was one of the best pitches in baseball and his changeup and curveball had a whiff rate of over 33 percent, as well. Some level of regression for Blanco in 2025 is likely, but he should be a capable fantasy starter again. Read Past Outlooks
Works into seventh inning in win
Blanco (2-2) gained the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday after allowing one run on two hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
It was a much-needed bounce-back effort by Blanco, who induced 12 whiffs and gave up just two hits Tuesday after entering play with a dismal 6.38 ERA through his first four starts in 2025. The right-hander did yield a solo shot to Nathan Lukes in the third inning, but it was still Blanco's longest outing of the season in terms of innings pitched. Blanco now holds a 5.01 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 23.1 frames ahead of his next scheduled appearance, currently projected for next week at home against the Tigers.

Named AL POTW
Blanco was named the American League Player of the Week on Monday, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
It's a well-earned honor for the right-hander, who delivered a no-hitter in his season debut against Toronto and followed up with six scoreless innings at Texas. Blanco didn't begin the season with much hype at the back end of Houston's rotation, but he's been electric through two starts and has provided a much-needed boost to an injury-riddled staff.
