BOSTON — Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco is out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Boston Red Sox because of a sore left hamstring.
Rays manager Kevin Cash said Franco wanted to play, but they decided that “if we can buy him an extra day, I don’t think it’ll hurt.”
Franco trotted into third slowly in the opening game of a day-night doubleheader on Saturday. He was visited by a team trainer and Cash but stayed in the game. He finished with three hits in the 8-5 loss in the opener before sitting out the nightcap.
The Rays’ 22-year-old star is hitting .305 with seven homers and 29 RBIs.
