Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said the team is promoting OF Christian Franklin.
Fantasy Impact
Franklin was acquired by the Nationals. He was slashing .249/.375/.360 in Triple-A with six home runs and 17 steals.
The Nationals have optioned outfielder Christian Franklin to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Impact
Franklin didn't have a very good spring, going 8-for-32 (.250) without a homer and just one walk across 33 trips to the plate. The 26-year-old hit .272 with 12 homers, 19 stolen bases, and an .817 OPS across 117 Triple-A games between the Cubs and Nationals organizations.
The Chicago Cubs traded outfield prospect Christian Franklin to the Nationals as part of a package for right-hander Mike Soroka.
Fantasy Impact
In Franklin, the Nats acquire a 25-year-old outfielder who has hit well in the minors since being drafted in 2021. This season, he is hitting .265 with eight home runs, 11 stolen bases, and an .820 OPS across 86 games with Triple-A Iowa.
