Wander Franco Gets Two Hits In Rehab Game Sunday
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hand, wrist) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a walk while serving as the designated hitter and batting second in his first minor league rehab game with Triple-A Durham on Sunday. Franco was pulled off his original rehab assignment due to soreness in his hand and wrist, but he's back in action again and is expected to remain on the rehab assignment for a week before he rejoins the Rays. The 21-year-old should return for the stretch run in September, but it won't give him a ton of time to make an impact in fantasy. Before his injury, Franco was hitting .260/.308/.396 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases in his 227 at-bats. He will return to being the team's everyday shortstop when he's ready.
