Ahead of a pivotal series with the Dodgers, the Giants have placed outfielder Gregor Blanco on the disabled list with a right shoulder impingement.

The team made the announcement roughly four hours before first pitch.

Outfielder Gorkys Hernandez has been called up from Triple-A Sacramento to take Blanco's spot on the roster.

In 101 games for the Giants this season, Blanco is hitting .225 with 10 doubles, one home run and 18 RBI.

Hernandez, signed to a minor league deal in October of 2015, is hitting .302 with 22 doubles, eight home runs and 51 RBI in 116 games with the River Cats this season.
