Wander Franco leaves Dominican Winter League after bicep injury

John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times reports baseball’s top prospect is heading stateside to seek precautionary medical tests after a right bicep strain sustained playing winter ball, an injury that was announced by his team in the Dominican three days ago:

#NotasRojas Wander Franco se mantendrá hoy fuera del roster del día, mientras se recupera de molestias en su bíceps derecho. El campocorto ha sido uno de los mejores bateadores del Escogido en el torneo con una línea ofensiva de .350/.435/.500.
