Franco to DL, Altherr promoted

When Maikel Franco got hit on the wrist by a Jeremy Hellickson fastball last Tuesday night, the initial thought was that the rookie phenom would be heading to the disabled list as he gripped his wrist in serious pain.

However, reports began to surface that his wrist injury was not that serious and a stint on the disabled list could potentially be avoided and that he could even be ready to go for the weekend series in Milwaukee.

Franco never saw an at-bat, as the Phillies were swept by the Brewers for the second time this season.
