Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Logan Forsythe has been scratched from the starting lineup Tuesday against the San Diego Padres due to back spasms.
Nick Franklin -- and his .341 wOBA this season -- will replace Forsythe at second base and bat leadoff on Tuesday. A few days of rest should be all Forsythe needs in order to get healthy.
Forsythe is having a solid year, slashing .280/.341/.476 with 15 home runs, six stolen bases and a .350 wOBA in 393 plate appearances. We currently project him to hit five more taters and post a .785 OPS over the remaining course of the season.
