Wander Franco Dealing With Sore Biceps
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays shortstop and top MLB prospect Wander Franco (biceps) hasn't played for his Dominican Winter League team, the Leones del Escogido, since Friday due to a sore right biceps. Franco will travel back to the U.S. to be looked at by team doctors. The 19-year-old hit .350/.435/.500 with a home run and a steal in five games before suffering the injury, also showing off his slick fielding. Franco hit .327/.398/.487 with nine home runs, seven triples and 18 steals in 114 games with Single-A Bowling Green and High-A Charlotte back in 2019. It doesn't sound like his injury is too serious, and the Rays are understandably being cautious with the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball. Whenever Franco makes his MLB debut in 2021, he should contribute immediately for fantasy managers.
