ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Wander Franco did well in the first two games of his minor-league rehab assignment and will join Triple-A Durham for three games in Jacksonville with the potential to rejoin the Rays this weekend.
Franco had a double (and was caught stealing) and a single Monday for the Florida Complex League team after striking out against rehabbing Red Sox starter Chris Sale in his first at-bat. Franco played six innings at shortstop after serving as the designated hitter on Saturday.
“It was good,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said of Monday’s reviews.
