Franklin (elbow) allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings Tuesday for Triple-A Iowa after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
Franklin underwent forearm surgery in May 2024 and began the 2026 campaign on the injured list. After an extended rehab assignment that included stops in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and High-A South Bend, Franklin was cleared to rejoin the Iowa rotation last week.
