Wander Franco fue colocado el martes en licencia administrativa por el béisbol de las Grandes Ligas, al mismo tiempo que las autoridades en su natal República Dominicana investigan al estelar campocorto por un supuesta relación con una menor de edad.
Franco, de 22 años, podrá cobrar salario y sumar tiempo de servicio durante la licencia administrativa bajo un acuerdo con la asociación de peloteros que no fijó plazos para tomar un decisión sobre una posible sanción.
Franco entró a la lista restringida por una semana el 14 de agosto, cuando MLB abrió una pesquisa a raíz de una serie de publicaciones en las redes sociales que insinuaban que el jugador tiene una relación con una menor. The Associated Press no ha podido verificar las publicaciones.
A mediados de la semana pasada, fiscales dominicanos informaron a AP que la investigación en el país había quedado en manos de una división especializada en la provincia de Peravia.
Franco fue descartado de la alineación titular de los Rays el 13 de agosto. El mánager Kevin Cash explicó que le habían dado un día libre y Franco no se embarcó con el equipo para una gira de seis juegos en la costa oeste tras ingresar a la lista restringida.
