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
Gets little support in defeat
Blanco (2-3) took the loss against Milwaukee on Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Blanco pitched well enough to notch a quality start, but the Astros managed just one run against Brewers starter Tobias Myers and four relievers. Blanco impressed with 14 whiffs and threw 19 of 26 first pitches for strikes but was done in by a rough third inning during which he gave up all three of his runs, two of which came on a Christian Yelich homer. The right-hander has completed at least five innings and yielded three or fewer runs in each of his past five starts, and he's projected to face Cincinnati the next time he takes the mound.

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.
