Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Bowden Francis has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm extensor tendinitis, an issue that has been troubling him since a recent outing in San Diego. The team remains optimistic as there are no structural concerns and they expect him to resume throwing soon after rest and treatment. In response to his absence, the Blue Jays have recalled Brendon Little from Triple-A to fill the roster spot. This injury adds to the challenges for the Blue Jays' pitching staff, which is already dealing with injuries to other key pitchers like Ricky Tiedemann and struggles from Alek Manoah in his rehab starts.
