Fantasy Impact:
At this point, MLB has been unable to verify the information contained in the social media posts. There is the possibility that Franco can end up on the restricted list or be placed on administrative leave while the investigation takes place. The Rays are declining comment at this time. Fantasy managers will need a backup plan for the foreseeable future until more information comes to light on the situation. Osleivis Basabe was called up to take Franco's place on Sunday, but it remains to be seen who will receive playing time going forward.
