There are three kinds of granulocytes - eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils. The first two kinds don't turn into anything. After they've done their job, they return to the bloodstream.
The last kind, neutrophils, are phagocytes. They engulf pathogens and dissolve them. Obviously, after they've done this they're full of pathogen parts, so they can't return to the bloodstream. Instead, they turn into pus cells and die.
