Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Infielder Brad Miller has been reinstated from the 10-day IL to take Franco's spot on the roster. (Jim Salisbury on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
After a brief hot start to the season, Franco quickly regressed and has batted .231 with 15 home runs, 41 runs scored, and 47 RBIs through 333 at-bats. Scott Kingery and Brad Miller should see regular time at third base with Franco sent down.
