Rays' Nick Franklin: Recalled from Durham
Franklin was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports.
Analysis:
Franklin spent five days with the Rays earlier this month, but he's otherwise been at Triple-A Durham all season, posting a .247/.316/.388 slash line in 247 plate appearances. According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays want some added infield depth so that Taylor Motter can spend more time in the outfield. Franklin is unlikely to get more than a start or two per week.
