Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Wander Franco (hand) will meet the Rays in New York and could be activated as early as Friday. Franco just resumed his minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday night at Triple-A Durham after another bout of soreness in his surgically-repaired right hand/wrist, but he did go 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored, and the Rays have apparently seen enough to believe that he can be a reliable contributor again. The 21-year-old franchise cornerstone shortstop has been on the shelf since early July due to a fractured hamate bone.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that he was unsure if Giancarlo Stanton (foot) would play on Friday against the Rays. “We’ll see,” Boone said after the game. “I’m not sure yet.” Stanton was able to pinch-hit on Friday; striking out in a nine-pitch at-bat, but he hasn’t been in the starting lineup since Monday. The Yankees may give him another day off, but the good news is it does appear Stanton will be back in the lineup sooner than later.
