The Toronto Blue Jays come back down to earth as they lose to the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3. The Blue Jays have a big problem, and it’s Bowden Francis. He continues to struggle with the long ball, as he gave up 2 home runs and six runs in the first inning. Even with great performances from Addison Barger and Davis Schneider, it was nowhere near enough to make up for Bowden’s blow up. In this episode, we break down the key moments from the game, while answering the question of what to do with Bowden Francis amidst his struggles over the last few starts. We then give our takes on the level of production we need to expect from players in the middle and bottom of the order, to allow the Blue Jays to have sustained success at the plate, while providing you with the most up to date injury news, and Blue Jays storylines on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.

Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Yimi Garcia, Anthony Santander, Alek Manoah, Jeff Hoffman, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Andrus Gimenez, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Erik Swanson, Max Scherzer, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Chad Green, Jake Bloss, Nick Sandlin, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Josh Walker, Christian Bethancourt, Will Wagner, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Tyler Heineman , Myles Straw, Alan Roden, Easton Lucas, Paxton Schultz, Mason Fluharty
