Rays' Wander Franco: Biceps injury to be evaluated

Franco (sore right biceps) has returned to the United States to be evaluated by Rays team doctors, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. The club is hopeful it is not a serious injury.

The game's top prospect was playing in the Dominican Winter League but had been sidelined for a week due to the injury, so the Rays are bringing him back stateside to evaluate the seriousness of the injury. He hit .350/.435/.500 with a homer and a stolen base through the first five games. If Franco is fully healthy this spring, he could put himself in position for a first-half call-up, but if this injury turns out to be serious, that could delay his arrival in 2021.
