Bowden Francis has been placed on the injured list again due to shoulder discomfort, extending his recovery. Initially injured on June 17th, he started throwing again but experienced a setback. His performance in the 2025 season has been disappointing with a 2-8 record and a 6.05 ERA. In contrast, he excelled in the latter half of 2024, achieving a 1.80 ERA and being recognized as the American League Pitcher of the Month. His prior issues with injuries present concern, but his ability to rebound showcases potential.
Bowden Francis felt "bit cranky shoulder-wise" and will be shut down for at least 10 days to "see if we can calm the shoulder down."
Francis had a 2-8 record in 14 starts during the 2025 season, giving up 46 runs and setting a 6.05 ERA, the highest among Blue Jays' starters.
In 2024, Francis had a final stretch with a 1.80 ERA, holding no-hitters into the ninth inning and earning the American League Pitcher of the Month award.
Francis had a similarly rough start to the 2024 season with an 8.59 ERA by the end of April, but rebounded to a 3.30 ERA by season's end.
