  • Cubs' Christian Franklin: Makes cameo in spring game

    Rotowire

    Franklin (knee) struck out in his lone plate appearance and logged three innings in right field in his lone Cactus League game to date in a March 16 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    A 23-year-old outfielder who hasn't played above the Single-A level, Franklin isn't in consideration for a spot on the Cubs' Opening Day roster, but his appearance in Cactus League play at least confirms that he's healthy again after missing the entire 2022 season due to a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. Franklin will likely open the 2023 campaign at Single-A Myrtle Beach or High-A South Bend.

  • Cubs' Christian Franklin: Out for season with knee injury

    The 22-year-old outfielder hit .237/.426/.316 with one home run and four steals in 24 games across rookie ball and Low-A after getting drafted in the fourth round last year.
