Phillies insert Maikel Franco back into lineup against Colorado

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Maikel Franco is back in the starting lineup on Thursday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Franco rode pine for the past two games. He returns to the Phillies' starting lineup Thursday to man the hot corner and bat cleanup versus left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Rockies.

Through 41 games (171 plate appearances) this season, Franco is hitting an underwhelming .221/.281/.377 with six home runs and 28 RBI's.
