Franklin was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a right quad strain.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin lasted just four innings into his season debut before suffering the injury Tuesday against Cleveland. He underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning to determine the severity of the issue, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Tyler Saladino was called up to take his place on the roster.

Franklin exited Tuesday's win over the Indians with a quadriceps strain and will be placed on the disabled listed, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin was promoted from Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday and got the start at second base, but injured himself coming out of the batter's box to beat a double play in the fourth inning. The super-utility man should hit the disabled list Wednesday along with starting pitcher Wade Miley.

Franklin's contract was selected from Double-A Biloxi on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin started off the year in Double-A in order to get work as a catcher, but with Stephen Vogt (shoulder) experiencing a setback in his most recent rehab stint, the Brewers will add Franklin to the active roster for more catching depth. The 27-year-old played every position beside pitcher and center field with the Shuckers, so he seems to be in line for super utility duty off the Brewers' bench.

Franklin will start seeing action at catcher with Double-A Biloxi, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin was originally expected to be headed for Triple-A Colorado Springs, but will instead move down a level for the catching experiment. Positional versatility was already the 27-year-old's best attribute and catcher could further add to that, but his career slash line of .214/.285/.360 in 921 major-league appearances is a significant limiting factor in his value beyond providing organizational depth.

Franklin agreed to a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin, a former first-round draft pick of the Mariners, will make a return trip to Milwaukee after being designated for assignment by the team over the summer. He failed to bat over the Mendoza Line with the Brewers or the Angels, so he'll likely just act as organizational depth for the team given his expansive positional utility.

Franklin cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

No club wanted to take on Franklin's salary, so he'll serve as infield and outfield depth at the club's top minors level. He's mustered a .179/.269/.293 line with two home runs over 119 major-league plate appearances for the Halos and the Brewers.

Franklin was designated for assignment by the Angels on Saturday, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks Franklin's second DFA in just over a month and third since April 1. The 26-year-old has hit .214/.285/.360 in parts of five seasons in the majors and he's limited defensively, realistically capable of helping out only at second base and the outfield corners. He will be subjected to waivers once again.

Franklin is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

With Franklin sitting for the second straight game against a right-handed starting pitching, it seems rather apparent that he's been supplanted by Kaleb Cowart as the top option at the keystone. Cowart, who has slashed .311/.383/.482 this season at Triple-A Salt Lake, rewarded the Angels with a 2-for-4 showing at the plate Tuesday, so he should continue to play regularly against both both right- and left-handed starters until his production craters.

Franklin is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Franklin resides on the large side of a platoon at second base with Cliff Pennington, but now that Kaleb Cowart is in the big leagues again, there is a decent chance that Cowart could log most of the starts at the keystone while sending the current platoon mates to the bench. This trend appears to be starting right out of the gate, as Cowart is manning second base and batting ninth in his first game back up.

Franklin is not in the lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the second lefty in a row that Franklin will not face, which makes it seem like he and fellow switch-hitter Cliff Pennington are in a full-blown platoon at second base. Although Franklin has the fortune of being on the larger side of the timeshare, his uninspiring batting line on the season makes him a rather unattractive asset in most fantasy formats.
