Bowden Francis to Miss 2026 After Tommy John Surgery

Blue Jays right-hander Bowden Francis will miss the entire 2026 season after undergoing Tommy John (UCL reconstruction) surgery, TSN reported. The 29-year-old broke out in 2024 but struggled in 2025 as his performance dipped. Toronto now faces another rotation reshuffle with Francis sidelined through next year, pushing more innings onto its healthy starters and depth options in camp.
