It was also announced that Garcia is still dealing with pain and is being evaluated once again in Toronto this weekend while Nick Sandlin is now throwing from 120 feet in Florida.
While Francis is finally throwing again which is a huge step in the right direction, there is a solid chance that he might not be back this season as there is less than two months left to the season.
For Francis it is probably better for him to take his time returning from injury since 2025 went quite poorly for the starting pitcher as he currently has a 6.05 ERA in 64 innings pitched this season.
