Maikel Franco Sitting Out Friday
6 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is not in the starting lineup on Friday. Scott Kingery will play the hot corner and hit seventh, while Nick Williams is hitting eighth and starting in left field against Dodgers starting pitcher Kenta Maeda. After a blazing start, Franco has cooled off significantly, hitting .160/.200/.247 with a homer and five RBI in the last 28 days. Kingery has basically become an everyday player with Odubel Herrera facing a suspension and he should be owned in all leagues. He's hitting .328/.375/.567 with three homers, nine RBI and two steals on the year. Williams has 11 hits in his 66 at-bats (.167) on the year and is a long shot to return any daily value.
