Giants' Gregor Blanco: Sitting Sunday
Blanco is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.
Analysis:
Blanco typically gets the starting nod against right-handers, but Jarrett Parker will instead get the call against Aaron Nola on Sunday afternoon. Blanco may be solid defensively, but he's hitless in his last nine at-bats, so a maintenance day was likely in order.
