LHP Jeff Francis made the first of at least two rehab starts Monday, tossing 3 1/3 scoreless innings for Class AA Tulsa. He allowed one hit and no walks, and he struck out two. Francis has been on the disabled list since July 2 with left shoulder inflammation.

Francis (left shoulder inflammation) is targeting a July 29 return, according to the Rocky Mountain News.
Recommendation: In that case, he would make two starts in his first week back (at Pirates, at Marlins). Francis still has a few hurdles to clear before returning, led by a minor league rehab start or two.
