ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco has had a setback and was removed from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Sunday due to ongoing hand soreness.
Franco, who went on the injured list July 10 with a right hamate bone injury that required surgery, hasn't played since leaving his first rehab game Tuesday with the soreness.
The 21-year-old Franco will return to St. Petersburg, Florida, for additional treatment.
There was no timeframe announced for when Franco might be able to resume playing.
Franco took on-field batting practice for the first time since surgery on Aug.
