"He's still pretty sore," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "We'll see how he gets through the off-day [on Monday]. I'm sure [head athletic trainer] Ron Porterfield and our athletic training staff will decide whether he needs to go visit a doctor or not. I don't think it's a major issue. It's just trying to balance the end of the year and how much we want to push it."
Franklin is holding out hope he'll be able to return to finish the season.
"See if I can get a week in, maybe a week and a half in," he said.
