Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco is not starting in Wednesday's contest against the Boston Red Sox.
Franco will sit on the bench after Taylor Walls was moved to shortstop, Isaac Paredes was shifted to second base, Ji-Man Choi was aligned at first, and Harold Ramirez was picked as Tampa Bay's designated hitter.
Per Baseball Savant on 285 batted balls this season, Franco has accounted for a 4.6% barrel rate and a .331 expected weighted on-base average.
