Franco (hamstring) looked good running the infield arc from first to third base prior to Friday's game against the Tigers, the team's official site reports.

The quickly-recovering shortstop also took batting practice and fielded grounders, making it a very good day's work in his bid to spend only the minimum time on the injured list. Franco is eligible to be activated Tuesday, and although the postseason-minded Rays may opt to hold him out a little longer, it appears the 20-year-old will have a chance to get in some regular-season at-bats in before suiting up for his first playoff series.
