2 years agoTampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (wrist, hand) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday with Triple-A Durham. The Rays plan is for Franco to play a week's worth of games with Durham, but things could change depending on how he performs. If they stick to that, he should return for an important series against the Toronto Blue Jays starting September 12. The 21-year-old phenom has been out since early July with the wrist/hand injury, and was actually pulled off a rehab assignment in August with lingering pain. Hopefully this time things go well for him and he can return to help both the Rays and his fantasy managers down the stretch.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
