Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Taking seat against southpaw
Rotowire
Varsho is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.
The left-handed-hitting Varsho had started in each of Toronto's last five games -- including two matchups with left-handed pitchers -- but he'll head to the bench Thursday while southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the hill for the Cubs in the matinee contest. Myles Straw will replace Varsho in center field and will bat seventh.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Rolling in power department
Rotowire
Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Varsho clubbed his 12th long ball through just 120 at-bats for the year, as he's been a force in the power department when healthy in 2025. While the outfielder is batting just .242 this season, he's slugging .608 and has driven in 31 runs over only 32 games.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Racks up three hits
Rotowire
Varsho went 3-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Varsho has swung a hot bat during the Blue Jays' road trip, going 8-for-14 with three home runs and 10 RBI over his last three games. While most of his recent damage was done against the Rockies, it's encouraging to see the outfielder find some momentum at the plate. He's batting .241 with 11 home runs, 30 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base through 121 plate appearances this season.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Day off Wednesday
Rotowire
Varsho is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.
Varsho has gone 5-for-10 with three home runs in the first two games of the series, but since he just returned from the injured list a few days ago, the Blue Jays don't want to overextend him. Myles Straw will get a turn in center field and will bat ninth Wednesday.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Monstrous offensive performance
Rotowire
Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers and six RBI in Tuesday's victory over Colorado.
Varsho built on his four-RBI effort Monday with a massive six-RBI showing Tuesday, fueled by two home runs. Injuries -- most recently a hamstring strain -- have disrupted his 2025 campaign, but when healthy, the center fielder has flashed serious power, posting a .602 slugging percentage across 28 games. If he can use this explosive series in Colorado as a springboard, it would be a huge boost for a Toronto team that's quickly emerging as a legitimate contender.
Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Racks up four RBI against Rockies
Rotowire
Varsho went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in a 15-1 romp over the Rockies on Monday.
Varsho had the biggest hit in a seven-run third inning for the Blue Jays, crushing a 451-foot, three-run homer. He added a run-scoring single in the seventh before being given the final two frames off as Toronto built an insurmountable lead. Varsho had gone 0-for-6 with four strikeouts in his first two games back from the injured list, but a trip to Colorado may be just what he needed to get his bat back on track.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Activated from IL
Rotowire
The Blue Jays activated Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Varsho has played in just 24 games this season and last appeared with Toronto on May 31. He's slashed .207/.240/.543 with eight home runs, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, one stolen base and a 5:31 BB:K across 100 plate appearances on the campaign. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays placed George Springer (concussion) on the 7-day IL.
Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Could be activated over weekend
Rotowire
Varsho (hamstring) is expected to play rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday and Wednesday before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list this weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Varsho has been stuck on the injured list since June 1, but he finally looks to be nearing the finish line in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. Though poor weather has interrupted his rehab assignment on multiple occasions, he's been productive over five games with three different affiliates, hitting .333 with three home runs and a 0:3 BB:K. Playing on consecutive days with Buffalo likely represents the final hurdle that Varsho will need to clear before Toronto is comfortable reinstalling him as its everyday center fielder.
Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: On track to return next week
Rotowire
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Varsho (hamstring) will move his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Buffalo by Friday and is expected to remain with the affiliate through the weekend, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
If all goes well for Varsho during his time with Buffalo, he should be cleared to return from the 10-day injured list during the Blue Jays' series in Baltimore that begins Monday. Varsho has played in four rehab games so far, slugging home runs in his last two contests with Single-A Dunedin. He's been sidelined since early June with a strained left hamstring.
Varsho (hamstring) started in center field Sunday in a rehab appearance for Single-A Dunedin, going 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI.
He was lifted after six innings in this one, his third rehab contest, but Varsho is getting closer to coming off the injured list. The 29-year-old will likely be moved to a higher-level affiliate this week and may not be activated until he plays on consecutive days, but Varsho might be back patrolling center field for the Blue Jays by this weekend.
