Sunday's promotion at Tropicana Field was the Wander Franco snapback hat for fans 14 and under.
After the game, Rays manager Kevin Cash was asked whether there was any issue with Franco not playing other than a regular day off.
The Rays called up Osleivis Basabe to start at shortstop in his major league debut. Basabe, who went one-for-three with a double, learned he was being brought up during his game Saturday night with Triple-A Durham. In November 2021, Tampa Bay signed Franco to an 11-year, $182 million contract, a deal that could be worth up to $223 million if a team option for 2033 is exercised.
