The Blue Jays have a lot of talent on IL right now as their team will certainly benefit from getting a lot of these players back in the lineup especially when looking at Andres Gimenez, George Springer and Alejandro Kirk.

While this situation is clearly unfortunate for Francis as the chances of him recovering in time before the end of the season are slim, this sort of helps the Blue Jays avoid some issues with their starting rotation.
The Blue Jays currently have 5 starting pitcher but will soon be up to 7 with Alek Manoah and Shane Bieber expected to return soon which is why having Francis return this season would cause some big issues pushing them to 9 starters.
Even with Francis likely being out for the rest of the season, the Blue Jays have some serious issues to figure out with their rotation as they clearly have too many starting pitchers.
