Maikel Franco Taking The Day Off
6 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco is taking the day off on Tuesday. Scott Kingery will handle third base duties and bat seventh, while Nick Williams, who was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, draws into left field and will bat eighth against Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright. With outfielder Odubel Herrera facing a suspension for domestic violence, Kingery should become an everyday player for the Phillies moving forward. He's a strong DFS pick and should be owned in most mixed leagues now after beginning the year hitting .357/.400/.589 with two home runs, seven RBI and two steals in 56 at-bats.
