Rest-of-Season Projections
Franco was designated for assignment by the Astros on Saturday, the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The Astros have 10 days to either trade Franco, release him or send the 44-year-old left-hander to the minors. The move on Franco was done to make room for right-hander Ezequiel Astacio, who was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2005
2004
2003
Franco is clearly on his last legs as a major leaguer. His ERA more than doubled between 2003 and 2004 and his WHIP is now greater than 1.50. For those who think he could be a serviceable lefty specialist, remember that he has never filled that role, and three of the six home runs he surrendered came against lefties.

Franco made his sixth appearance of the season in Tuesday's win over the Braves and recorded one out while giving up a hit and a walk.
