Star Shortstop Franco Returns After Being Benched for Frustration

Franco is back in the Rays lineup after missing two games for poor behavior, including not running out grounders and breaking his bat.
The benching was meant to address how Franco has handled frustration this season.
Manager Kevin Cash declined to give details on the specific incidents that led to the benching.
Franco said it was difficult to be away from the team and is glad to be playing again.
Franco is having a strong season at the plate, batting .287 with 8 home runs, 34 RBIs and 24 stolen bases.
