Ty France Should Return Soon
6 months agoThe word on Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (heel) is good, and he shouldn't require much more than the 10 days on the injured list. France has a good shot at being able to come off the IL when he's eligible next Tuesday. The 29-year-old veteran first baseman landed on the IL on Sunday due to a hairline fracture in his heel. When he's ready, France will return to starting duties at first base in Seattle. Fantasy managers would prefer that he hit for more power at the first base position, but he was hitting over .300 with a 1.013 OPS in 12 games before he landed on the injured list. Until France is able to return, rookie Tyler Locklear and Luke Raley should continue splitting work at the cold corner for the M's. In 211 at-bats on the year, France has slashed .251/.329/.403 with seven homers and 27 RBI.
