MLB Investigates Social Media Posts Involving Rays' Star Player, Wander Franco
Tampa Bay Rays' star shortstop Wander Franco was absent from the starting lineup as Major League Baseball launched an investigation into "social media posts" involving the player. The nature of the posts was not disclosed, but the team stated they are taking the situation seriously and cooperating with MLB. Franco, an All-Star this season, has been temporarily benched in the past for behavioral issues. The Rays won their first 13 games of the season but currently have a 71-49 record and are aiming for the playoffs.
