Maikel Franco (thumb) back in Phillies' lineup Monday
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (thumb) is back in the starting lineup on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
A jammed right thumb kept Franco out for much of last week. He'll cover the hot corner and hit third on Monday. Franco is slashing .247/.299/.423 in 549 plate appearances this season.
Franco's .305 wOBA this year is disappointing, considering he posted a .360 wOBA last season (335 plate appearances). He does have 22 home runs, however. We project Franco to hit two more taters and post a .706 OPS over the remaining course of the season.
