CNN —Tampa Bay Rays All-Star shortstop Wander Franco will not be with the team during its current road trip due to the situation surrounding social media posts involving Franco, the Rays said Monday. Tampa Bay and Franco have mutually agreed that he’ll be placed on the Restricted List, administrative leave that allows Franco to not count against the 26-man roster. Additionally, Major League Baseball is investigating the posts, an MLB official told CNN on Monday. Neither MLB nor the Rays gave any details on the posts. “We support any steps taken by the league to better understand the situation,” the Rays said in a statement.

[1/5] Apr 14, 2023; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Jordan Romano (68) prepares to throw out Tampa Bay Rays catcher Christian Bethancourt (14) for the final out in the ninth inning in a 6-3 Blue Jays win at Rogers Centre. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY SportsTORONTO, April 14 (Reuters) - The Tampa Bay Rays perfect start to the season came to an ugly end with a 6-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday as the 1884 St. Louis Maroons all-time record remained out of reach. But Tampa's record chase was undone in a horrific fifth inning that saw the Blue Jays bust open a tight 2-1 contest scoring four runs with much of the Tampa Bay damage self-inflicted. "Everything just didn't go our way that inning," Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters. The Rays were playing from the back foot from the very start with Rasmussen serving up a solo home run to Jays leadoff man George Springer.
