Maikel Franco to 15-day DL
by Matthew Jay Hutcheson Jr | Tue, Aug 18th 7:24pm EDT
The Phillies were hoping that Maikel Franco would be able to make his return tonight against the Blue Jays. However, Franco was placed on the 15-day DL earlier today, retroactive to August 12th.
Fantasy Impact:
This injury will likely end the promising 2015 season for the 22 year old rookie. The Phillies are no where near contention and have no reason to risk any further injury. Franco had a very nice rookie campaign going, with 13 homers and 48 RBI. In re-draft leagues, he's an obvious drop. In keeper leagues, he will be worth at least a look when the season ends.
