Cranks two homers Franco went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 14-6 win over Detroit.

Struggles in return to mound Fulmer allowed four runs on five hits and a walk across two innings in a no-decision Monday against the Royals. He struck out two.
Impact Making his first MLB start since 2018, Fulmer was done in by the long ball, as he allowed home runs to Maikel Franco, Whit Merrifield and Salvador Perez. The Tigers capped Fulmer at 47 pitches, and the righty figures to have his workload carefully monitored in his first year back after Tommy John surgery, which limits his fantasy appeal. He lines up to start again Sunday against the Reds, though he'll likely face another innings/pitch count restriction in that outing.

Smacks grand slam Tuesday Franco hit a grand slam off Glenn Sparkman during Tuesday's intrasquad game, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
Impact After inking a one-year, $3 million deal with Kansas City over the winter, Franco is positioned to serve as the team's everyday third baseman in 2020. The 27-year-old has three 20-homer campaigns on his resume and should remain a decent source of power from the corner infield, but he'll likely be a batting-average liability.
