Maikel Franco (groin) on Phillies' bench versus Dodgers

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Maikel Franco (groin) is not starting on Tuesday versus right-hander Walker Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Franco tweaked his groin during Monday's loss to the Dodgers. He managed to stay in the game, so it doesn't appear to be a major deal. Brad Miller is covering third base on Tuesday.

numberFire's models expect Franco to record 9 homers, 31 RBI, and 23 runs scored over the rest of the season.
