Wander Franco Returns From Injured List
2 years agoTampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hand, wrist) was reinstated from the injured list on Friday, with infielder Yu Chang being designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Franco will immediately return to shortstop and will hit second on Friday against New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas. The 21-year-old Dominican hasn't played in the big leagues since July 9, so there might be some rust to shake off initially, but he'll return to being the team's everyday shortstop to close out the regular season in 2022. In three minor league rehab games last week, he went 6-for-11 with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk.
