Francis (forearm) is likely to be activated from the 15-day injured list and pitch in some capacity Tuesday versus the Orioles, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Whether Francis is deployed as a traditional starter or bulk reliever isn't yet clear, but he appears set to operate as the Blue Jays' primary pitcher. He's expected to be available to pitch four innings and/or 60 pitches. Francis, who has been out since late April with forearm tendinitis, turned in an 8.59 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB in 14.2 innings across two starts and three extended relief appearances before landing on the shelf.
