Bowden Francis tossed five scoreless innings, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six in the Blue Jays’ 2-0 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not qualifying for a quality start, Francis turned in a sharp outing, lowering his ERA from 5.71 to 5.37. He showed strong command and swing-and-miss ability against a tough Texas lineup. While consistency has been an issue this year (15 homers allowed over 55.1 innings), this performance is an encouraging sign for managers in deeper leagues looking for back-end rotation depth.
Bowden Francis pitched four innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Padres, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four. One of the hits was a home run by Gavin Sheets.
Fantasy Impact
The home run allowed Thursday was not an isolated incident for Francis. He has now served up a home run in eight of his 10 starts this season, surrendering a total of 15 long balls on the year.
Bowden Francis allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in Friday's loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s outing, Francis now has a 6.02 ERA and 1.42 WHIP to go with a 2-6 record across nine starts. It has been a rough first two months of the season for the hurler.
Bowden Francis allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five over 6 2/3 innings in Saturday's win against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
The right-hander continues a forgettable stretch on the mound, allowing three or more runs in each of his last four starts for the Blue Jays. After yesterday’s performance, Francis now holds a 5.40 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with a 2-5 record across eight starts this season.
Bowden Francis gave up seven earned runs on eight hits across three innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Red Sox, striking out one and allowing five home runs.
Fantasy Impact
Francis’ ERA ballooned to 6.28 after the outing, and he’s now allowed 11 home runs across just 30.2 innings. With a WHIP of 1.43 and limited strikeout upside, he’s not a fantasy option outside of emergency depth in AL-only leagues. Avoid in all standard formats.
