Daulton Varsho - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Racks up three hits Varsho went 3-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact 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 has come 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.

Day off Wednesday Varsho is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

Impact Varsho has gone 5-for-10 with three home runs in the first two games of the series, but he just returned from the injured list a few days ago, so the Blue Jays don't want to overdo it with him. Myles Straw is getting a turn in center field and will bat ninth Wednesday.

Day off Wednesday Varsho is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Colorado.

Impact 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.

Monstrous offensive performance Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers and six RBI in Tuesday's victory over Colorado.

Impact 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 .534 slugging percentage across 27 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.

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.

Racks up four RBI against Rockies Varsho went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in a 15-1 romp over the Rockies on Monday.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Getting breather Saturday Varsho isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

Impact Varsho went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Friday in his return from the injured list, and the Jays will sit him down Saturday in an effort to ease him back into MLB action. Myles Straw will pick up a start in center field as a result and bat seventh.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IL The Blue Jays activated Varsho (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact 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 this season. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays placed George Springer (concussion) on the 7-day IL.

Could be activated over weekend 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 Zwel...

Impact 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.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

On track to return next week 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 there through the...

Impact If things go well for Varsho with Buffalo, he should be back on the Blue Jays' active roster at some point during the series in Baltimore that begins Monday. Varsho has played in four rehab games so far, homering in each of his last two contests with Single-A Dunedin. He's been sidelined since early June with a strained left hamstring.

JULY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Closing in on return Varsho (hamstring) got the start in center field for Single-A Dunedin on Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI.

Impact He was lifted after six innings in 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 back-to-back games, but Varsho might be back patrolling center field for the Blue Jays by this weekend.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Needs 5-8 rehab games Varsho (hamstring) will play in a rehab game with Low-A Dunedin on Friday and is expected to play 5-8 rehab games before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Arden Zwellin...

Impact Friday's appearance will be Varsho's second minor league rehab outing. He's expected to play 3-to-5 innings of outfield during the contest. Varsho is likely to have his assignment transferred to Triple-A Buffalo sometime next week. If he sticks to the 5-to-8-game timeline, Varsho would likely be back before August.

JULY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning assignment Monday Varsho (hamstring) is slated to begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League on Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Varsho landed on the injured list June 1 with a strained left hamstring, and a setback he suffered in late June has caused his stay on the IL to run a bit longer than originally anticipated. After running the bases multiple times this week without any issues, he's now been given the go-ahead to return to competition. The Blue Jays haven't committed to a target date for the 29-year-old's return, though there's a chance he'll be ready for the start of the second half.

JULY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Runs bases Monday Varsho (hamstring) ran the bases Monday and will do so again Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Varsho should be cleared to begin a rehab assignment after that, although the Blue Jays have not yet confirmed as much. The outfielder had a setback with his left hamstring in late June, but he has progressed well since then and could be back at the start of the second half, or shortly after.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Close to rehab stint Varsho (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next few days, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact The center fielder has been on the shelf since May 31, but he's been ramping up his running over the last week and appears close to being ready for game action. A return before the All-Star break remains a possibility for Varsho, who was slashing .207/.240/.543 with eight homers in 24 contests prior to straining his hamstring.

JULY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes running after setback Varsho (hamstring) resumed running in the outfield Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Varsho experienced a setback while running the bases Monday. An MRI showed some scar tissue irritation but did not reveal any structural issues, so the hope is that the outfielder will be cleared to run the bases again soon. Varsho had been nearing a rehab assignment before the setback, so he should be ready to play in rehab games soon if all goes well.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Experiences setback Varsho reported tightness in his hamstring while running the bases Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Varsho has been on the IL since the start of June with a strain in his left hamstring. The Blue Jays will now ease up on his running progression following his latest flare-up, which will likely delay the start of his rehab assignment by a few days. A timeline for his return to Toronto will likely become clearer once he begins playing minor-league games.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab assignment pending Varsho is expected to begin playing in games sometime next week, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reported Friday.

Impact Varsho resumed baseball activities June 6, but hadn't been cleared to run. He's now approaching clearance to play in games and should kick off a rehab assignment next week. Varsho is recovering from a Grade 1 hamstring strain he sustained at the start of June.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab assignment pending Varsho (hamstring) is expected to begin playing in minor-league games sometime next week, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reported Friday.

Impact Varsho resumed baseball activities June 6 but hadn't been cleared to run. He's now approaching clearance to play in games and should kick off a rehab assignment next week. Varsho is recovering from a Grade 1 hamstring strain he sustained on the final day of May.

JUNE 20 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes baseball activities Varsho (hamstring) is hitting in the batting cages and playing catch, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reported Friday.

Impact Varsho suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain Saturday and was given a week-to-week recovery timeline. While it's encouraging to see he's begun baseball activities, Varsho hasn't been cleared to run quite yet.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Recovering from Grade 1 strain Manager John Schneider said prior to Sunday's 8-4 win over the Athletics that Varsho's left hamstring injury is a Grade 1 strain, and the Blue Jays are viewing the outfielder as we...

Impact Though Varsho's hamstring strain is of the mild variety, the week-to-week label means that he's not a lock to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible June 11. Schneider mentioned Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw as the primary candidates to see reps in center field while Varsho is on the shelf, and Jonatan Clase, Alan Roden and Davis Schneider may also get more opportunities to make starts at either corner-outfield spots while Anthony Santander (shoulder) is on the IL.

Impact Though Varsho's hamstring strain is of the mild variety, the week-to-week label means that he's not a lock to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible June 11. Schneider mentioned Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw as the primary candidates to see reps in center field while Varsho is on the shelf, and Jonatan Clase, Alan Roden and Davis Schneider may also get more opportunities to make starts at either of the corner-outfield spots while Anthony Santander (shoulder) is on the IL.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to IL with hamstring strain The Blue Jays placed Varsho on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

Impact Toronto initially attributed Varsho's early departure from Saturday's 8-7 win over the Athletics to hamstring discomfort, but follow-up testing confirmed that the outfielder had suffered a strain. The severity of the strain isn't known, but even if it's of the mild variety, Varsho may not be ready to immediately return from the IL when first eligible June 11. Myles Straw will get the starting nod in center field in Sunday's series finale, but Nathan Lukes, Alan Roden and George Springer could also get reps at the position while Varsho is on the shelf.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to IL with hamstring strain The Blue Jays placed Varsho on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

JUNE 1 • ROTOWIRE

Diagnosed with hamstring injury Varsho was removed from Saturday's game against the Athletics due to left hamstring discomfort.

Impact Varsho injured his left hamstring while attempting to stretch a double into a triple in the third inning. The 28-year-old outfielder will undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury. Myles Straw entered the game at the top of the fourth, and he would be in line for more starts in the outfield if Varsho were to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
