Monster performance in Game 2 Varsho went 4-for-5 with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 13-7 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of the ALDS.

Impact Varsho was unstoppable in Game 2, adding doubles in the second and third frames, before launching a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth. He later added a solo home run in the sixth inning, which was his final hit of the day. Varsho has come out of the gates red-hot in the postseason, going 6-for-8 with two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored over the first two games of the ALDS.

The homer was the outfielder's 20th of the season and his fifth in September, marking the third time in the last four years he's reached the 20-homer mark. The 29-year-old is up to a .237/.286/.559 slash line with 12 doubles, 55 RBI and 40 runs across 259 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Exiting lineup against lefty Varsho is absent from the lineup for Friday's game versus the Orioles.

Socks 16th homer Varsho went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Reds.

Impact The center fielder took Reds closer Emilio Pagan deep in the ninth inning, capping a three-run rally that gave the Blue Jays a 4-2 lead, but the Toronto bullpen immediately handed it right back to Cincy in the bottom of the frame. Varsho was out of the lineup for a couple games due to a bruised hand, but Monday's long ball was a strong sign that he's fully healthy. Over the course of an injury-plagued season, Varsho has 16 homers and a career-best .866 OPS in just 49 games.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Monday Varsho (hand) will start in center field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact Varsho will make his return to the lineup after he had been held out of the starting nine for the final two games of the Blue Jays' weekend series versus Milwaukee due to a bruised right hand. He ended up coming off the bench and played an inning of center field in Sunday's 8-4 win, and with his hand providing no apparent complications following that contest, Varsho was given the green light to start in Monday's series opener in Cincinnati.

Back in action Monday Varsho (hand) will start in center field and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Reds.

SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Sunday Varsho (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Varsho was hit by a pitch on the right hand Friday and was diagnosed with a contusion after X-rays came back negative, and he'll be held out of the starting nine Sunday for a second straight game. The 29-year-old was reportedly available off the bench for Saturday's contest but didn't appear in the game, and he'll presumably be available in that capacity again Sunday.

Not starting Saturday but improving Varsho (hand) isn't in the starting lineup Saturday versus Milwaukee but could be available as a defensive replacement or pinch hitter, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Varsho had to make an early exit from Friday's contest after being hit by a pitch on his right hand. X-rays returned negative, and manager John Schneider shared Saturday morning that Varsho is doing well but is dealing with some pain and swelling. The team intends to test Varsho out pre-game to see if he could be available as a late-inning option, while Myles Straw is starting in center field in his stead Saturday.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

X-rays negative X-rays on Varsho's right hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning of Friday's loss to Milwaukee, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Blue Jays may hold Varsho out for a game or two so that he can properly recover, but the fact that he escaped the incident without any structural damage bodes well for his chances of avoiding the injured list. Myles Straw would be the likely choice to start in center field if Varsho sits.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Hit by pitch, exits game Varsho was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers after taking a pitch off his right hand, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Varsho had gone 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being plunked by a 97-mph sinker in the seventh inning. He was immediately lifted for a pinch runner, and the Blue Jays will now bring him in for examination to determine whether he suffered any structural damage. He can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

AUGUST 30 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep in loss Varsho went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Varsho provided all of the Blue Jays' offense with a 424-foot blast in the seventh inning. It continued a scorching August for the 29-year-old, who has seven homers, 20 RBI and 12 runs scored over 19 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .234/.288/.591 with 15 long balls, 40 RBI, 26 runs and one steal across 170 plate appearances.

Goes deep in loss Varsho went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins.

Powers offense in win Varsho went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Varsho opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning before adding a two-run shot in the sixth. The 29-year-old has been swinging it well in August, batting .288 with nine extra-base hits and 17 RBI through 17 games. For the season, he's slashing .236/.294/.597 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 25 runs scored and a stolen base across just 160 plate appearances.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs 13th homer Varsho went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact The center fielder took Jon Gray deep in the fifth inning, one of four Toronto long balls on the afternoon. Varsho continues to supply impressive power, homering five times in 12 games since returning from the IL at the beginning of August, and on the season he's slashing .248/.306/.620 with 13 home runs and 34 RBI in only 36 contests.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs 13th homer Varsho went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Rangers.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat against southpaw Varsho is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE

Rolling in power department Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Varsho clubbed his 12th big fly 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 outings. As long as Varsho sticks in the heart of Toronto's order, he's certainly worth a look for rosters in need of pop in deeper fantasy settings.
