2 years agoTampa Bay Rays skipper Kevin Cash said there is no set date for shortstop Wander Franco (hand, wrist) to resume his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham, but it won't be until after the weekend at the earliest. Franco said his surgically repaired right wrist wasn't bothering him after he took swings earlier this week, but the Rays are being cautious with their star shortstop. The 21-year-old hasn't played in a minor league game since Aug. 16 and a big-league game since July 9. Ideally, he'll restart his rehab assignment on Monday and be ready to return to the Rays by late next week. Franco is a must-start fantasy asset when he's healthy. Taylor Walls will continue seeing everyday work at the 6 in Tampa until Franco is reinstated from the injured list.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
