Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (back) is in the lineup again Monday against the New York Yankees. Franco seemed to injure his back slipping on first base in Sunday's game.

Maikel Franco Returns To Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco will return to the lineup and bat sixth Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Franco has sat for five straight games for the Phillies but J.P.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Sixto Sanchez is being placed on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
