2 years agoTampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hand, wrist) will meet with the team in New York and is set to be activated from the injured list this weekend, possibly as early as Friday, according to president of baseball operations Erik Neander. Wednesday's minor league rehab game with Triple-A Durham was a big step for Franco, who has gone 6-for-11 with a double and a walk in three games with Durham. The 21-year-old Dominican has been out since July 9 and was hitting .260/.308/.396 with five home runs, 23 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases in 227 at-bats before his injury. The Rays and fantasy managers could really use Franco's contributions down the stretch to close out the month of September.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
