Bowden Francis Receives Cortisone Shot
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis (shoulder) received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder last week and was shut down from throwing through the weekend, according to MLB.com. Francis landed on the 15-day injured list last Tuesday with a right-shoulder impingement and is unlikely to return until after the mid-July All-Star break since he has yet to resume throwing. When the 29-year-old does return from the IL, he will be far from a lock to regain a starting-rotation role after going 2-8 with a 6.05 ERA (6.79 FIP) and 1.53 WHIP with 54 strikeouts and 27 walks in 64 innings over his 14 starts. Francis was pretty nasty late last year after adding a splitter to his arsenal, but it appears the rest of the league has figured him out somewhat through the first half in 2025.
