On August 14, the Rays announced that infielder Wander Franco had been placed on the restricted list after information spread on social networking sites that he had an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old girl who allegedly claimed to be 18 years old.

　The national newspaper USA Today reported, “MLB has officially opened an investigation into social networking posts about the Rays’ Wander Franco.

And according to the team, they have officially announced that he has been placed on the restricted list this Monday”.

In 2021, the 20-year-old signed a 12-year, $223 million ($32.433 billion) blockbuster contract. He had been leading the team this season with a .281 batting average, 17 home runs, 58 runs batted in, and 30 stolen bases, but this is a big blow for a team looking to make the playoffs.
