CINCINNATI -- Rays shortstop Wander Franco was placed on the IL with a wrist injury on Sunday, a day after exiting the club's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Reds in the first inning. Franco’s injury came after he fouled off a 101 mph pitch from starter Hunter Greene in the top of the inning. Franco was replaced defensively in the bottom half of the inning.

“Right now it doesn't feel too good,” Franco said after the game.

The Rays won’t know the severity of the injury until meeting with Dr. Douglas Carlan in St. Petersburg on Monday, but a hamate fracture could take 6-8 weeks for a full recovery.

The Rays also lost center fielder Kevin Kiermaier (left hip inflammation) and left-hander Jeffrey Springs (right lower leg tightness) to the IL on Sunday. The IL move for Springs is retroactive to July 7, and the club optioned right-hander Calvin Faucher to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding transaction.

After ending his rookie campaign with a .288 batting average, Franco has seen his numbers dip to .260/.308/.396 with five home runs and 23 RBIs over 227 at-bats in his sophomore campaign.

This wouldn't be the first time Franco has missed time this season, as a right quadriceps sprain sidelined him for the majority of June.
