Juan Francisco went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI double, and a solo home run as the Blue Jays defeated the Indians on Tuesday. Francisco's sixth-inning RBI double proved to be the winning run as the Jays pulled off the one-run victory over the Tribe. Francisco also drilled a solo shot in the fifth inning off of Justin Masterson, his sixth of the season. Francisco cooled off a bit after an exorbitantly hot start to the month of May, but is still slashing .293/.386/.600 in 88 plate appearances.

Juan Francisco went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Saturday's loss to the Angels. Francisco has now struck out in six straight at-bats. While he has swung the bat well since joining the Jays, this shouldn't a surprise given his 33 percent career strikeout rate. Regardless, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons plans to give Brett Lawrie (hamstring) more playing time at second base once he returns to action in order to keep Francisco's bat in the lineup.

Juan Francisco went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run, and scored three times in Thursday's win against the Phillies. Francisco has been on fire, having hit consecutively in eight games and homered in back-to-back games. Thursday's homer was a solo shot against Luis Garcia, his fifth of the season. In just 17 games, Francisco has 12 RBI and a staggering .311/.403/.623 slash line.

Juan Francisco went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Phillies. Francisco's two-run homer in the seventh inning, off of Cliff Lee, was part of a nine-run frame that put the game far out of reach. The blast is Francisco's fourth in 16 games -- he made his 2014 debut on April 19. The Jays are quite happy the Brewers couldn't find room for him as Francisco is sporting a .276/.368/.534 slash line.

Juan Francisco went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Royals. Francisco has been productive since the Jays called him up on April 18. His fourth-inning homer off of Jeremy Guthrie was his third of the season in 46 at-bats, and he now owns a .920 OPS. Francisco has been alternating between first base and DH and even got a start at third base on Wednesday.

Juan Francisco belted his first home run of the 2014 season in a losing effort against the Red Sox on Friday. The solo blast off Jake Peavy in the seventh inning accounted for the only run the Blue Jays would score in the ballgame. He's done a nice job as a fill-in for the injured Adam Lind, slashing .368/.455/.632 in his first six games. He'll continue to have use in AL-only leagues, particularly when facing right-handed pitching.

Blue Jays recalled INF Juan Francisco from Triple-A Buffalo. With Adam Lind heading to the disabled list with lower back tightness, Francisco will provide additional punch off the bench for the Blue Jays. He could be worth a look in AL-only formats.

The Blue Jays are expected to recall Juan Francisco from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday. With Adam Lind likely heading for a stint on the disabled list, Francisco was pulled from Friday's minor league game and is likely heading to join the Blue Jays. It's unclear how much playing time he'll see, but is certainly worth a look in AL-only formats for his dual eligibility and power potential.

Blue Jays signed INF Juan Francisco to a minor league contract. Hector Gomez of the Dominican radio station ZDeportes first reported the deal, and it's been confirmed by Blue Jays play-by-play man Mike Wilner. Francisco will report to Triple-A Buffalo, where he'll provide organizational depth for the Jays.

Brewers released INF Juan Francisco. The 26-year-old was beat out by Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds this spring for the Brewers' opening at first base. Francisco slugged 18 home runs in 124 games last summer between Atlanta and Milwaukee, and shouldn't have trouble finding a new team. He owns a .731 career OPS in 298 major league games.
