Rockies reinstate Francis from DL
Baseball Betting Lines
08/07/2008 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis was
activated from the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old lefty had been sidelined for over a month with inflammation in
his left shoulder. He was scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the
Washington Nationals, but that game was postponed.
Instead, he is set to start the first game of a Thursday doubleheader with
Washington, opposite Jason Bergmann.
After having a remarkable 2007 season, this campaign has not been good for
Francis thus far. He has posted a 3-7 record with a 5.67 earned run average in
17 games.
He went 1-0 with an ERA of 0.63 in three rehab starts with Double-A Tulsa.
Francis was 17-9 with a 4.22 ERA last year for the National League champion
Rockies. He also posted a 2-1 mark with a 4.86 ERA in the postseason as
Colorado was swept by the Red Sox in the World Series.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies optioned pitcher Steven Register to
Triple-A Colorado Springs. The team also announced that pitcher Valerio De
Los Santos cleared waivers and was assigned to Colorado Springs.
