Maikel Franco (knee) out again as Phillies host Toronto

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (knee) is out again Wednesday.

What It Means:

This will make three straight days off for Franco, who is suffering from a knee sprain. Andres Blanco is starting at third and hitting third.

After a hot start to the season, Franco has cooled off and is slashing .252/.300/.438 with 11 home runs and a .309 wOBA in 247 plate appearances. Our models currently project him to hit .252/.300/.438 with 11 more home runs and a .306 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
