MILWAUKEE -- Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco no longer has a wrap covering his bruised left wrist, but it will likely be at least a couple of more days before he returns to the lineup.
Phillies interim manager Pete Mackanin expects Franco to sit out the remainder of the weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers before possibly returning to the lineup Tuesday.
The Phillies have an off-day Monday before opening up a two-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday.
"More likely Tuesday [than Sunday]," Mackanin said. "There's no need to push him, although I'd like to have him in the lineup.
