This is a lot of bad news for the Blue Jays with Burr done for the season and
Francis not returning to the mound anytime soon.
The Blue Jays will not have to rely on their depth players to come up big until they can find some replacements at the trade deadline.
Bottom line: these are some tough injury updates for Blue Jays. Jays' depth players have done a great job this year so challenge now is for that trend to continue.
Hopefully this is not too bad of a setback for them as they take on the San Francisco Giants tonight.
