Becomes free agent
Blankenhorn elected free agency Monday after being outrighted off the Nationals' 40-man roster.
ANALYSIS
At this point in the calendar, Blankenhorn is unlikely to land a minor-league deal with another organization before the season ends, but he'll get a head start in finding his next employer ahead of 2025. He was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 20 and later designated for assignment after he slashed .129/.156/.161 over 32 plate appearances in 13 games with the Nationals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2017
Blankenhorn could carve out a utility role this season with the Twins. He's passable at second base and third base but doesn't excel anywhere in the field. He's not considered a top prospect at age 23, but hit 278/.312/.474 with 18 home runs and 11 steals in 93 games at Double-A in 2019 and played one game with the Twins in 2020. He'll likely provide depth and move between Triple-A and the majors this summer.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get look in September
Blankenhorn is a name to watch as the Nationals prepare for September call-ups, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Blankenhorn has made only 31 plate appearances at the major-league level -- none in 2023 -- but the 27-year-old boasts an .883 OPS with 23 homers and 75 RBI in 107 games this season for Triple-A Rochester. He's been especially hot since the beginning of August and Washington could use some outfield help for the stretch run.
