Philadelphia Phillies rookie third baseman Maikel Franco had a setback in his recovery from a fractured left wrist, putting the remainder of his season in jeopardy.

Franco experienced discomfort in the wrist Wednesday after taking 20 swings of soft toss prior to Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. It marked the first time Franco swung a bat since he landed on the 15-day disabled list on Aug. 18.
