Royals' Dairon Blanco: Clears waivers

Blanco cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha.

Blanco got to make his major-league debut last month at the age of 29, but he was used infrequently in his two weeks with the team. He went 2-for-7 at the plate across five games before being designated for assignment Friday. While he could return the next time the Royals need another outfielder, the fact that he's no longer on the 40-man roster may prevent Blanco from being the top choice.
