Blair has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, but is expected to be ready for spring training, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports. |
Blair saw action in 11 games for the Athletics this season, but it appears a knee injury has kept him sidelined recently. He will now begin the rehab process in an attempt to crack the big league roster out of spring training in 2016. |

Blair went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a 10-6 loss to Houston on Saturday. |
It's Blair's seventh game in the majors and it's been a struggle for the rookie. Blair has yet to record a multi-hit game and he has struck out 13 times in just 2- at-bats. With Josh Phegley currently nicked up, Blair may see regular starts for the last couple weeks of the season. |

Blair hit a solo home run in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday. |
With Stephen Vogt still missing action from a groin injury and Josh Phegley getting the afternoon off, Blair stepped in and hit his first major-league home run, driving a ball off Rangers' reliever Andrew Faulkner into the seats in the seventh inning. Blair certainly has some pop to his bat --- however that pop will mainly be relegated to spot-starts and pinch-hit duties once Stephen Vogt returns to the lineup. |

Blair was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. |
After seven years in the Red Sox's organization, Blair made the jump out west this season, splitting time between Double-A Midland and Nashville. His numbers took a nose dive with his move up to Nashville, with his OPS dropping from .898 to .607 between levels. He has some pop, but Blair figures to serve primarily as a bench option moving forward. |
