Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho makes AN AMAZING CATCH after bouncing off the outfield wall

AUGUST 7, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Sitting versus lefty Varsho isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Southpaw Carlos Rodon will start on the mound for New York, so the lefty-hitting Varsho will retreat to the dugout Saturday. Davis Schneider, Joey Loperfido and Steward Berroa will start across the Jays' outfield while Varsho rests.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Friday Varsho (illness) is starting in center field and batting fifth Friday against the Yankees.

Impact The 28-year-old departed Wednesday's contest due to a heat-related illness, but he's back in the lineup Friday following Thursday's team off day. Varsho is coming off a rough July, as he had a .197/.287/.382 slash line and 27.3 percent strikeout rate in 25 games.

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with heat-related illness Varsho was removed in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Orioles due to heat illness symptoms. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run before leaving the game.

Impact The Blue Jays were trailing by five runs when Steward Berroa came off the bench in the bottom of the seventh to replace Varsho, so it's possible the 28-year-old would have stayed in the game had the score been more competitive. With the 0-for-2 showing prior to his departure, Varsho's batting average (.199) now sits below the Mendoza Line for the season. Varsho will have a team off day Thursday to recover from the illness before potentially returning to the lineup Friday against the Yankees.

Goes yard again Sunday Varsho went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Impact The 28-year-old outfielder took Jonathan Hernandez deep in the first inning, after the right-hander was forced to make an emergency start when Jon Gray (groin) was scratched before the first pitch. Varsho has left the yard in back-to-back games, giving him 13 home runs on the year, but those long balls snapped a 28-game homer drought and he's slashing a tepid .215/.307/.415 through 76 plate appearances in July.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homer, four RBI in win Varsho went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Varsho hit a three-run homer in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. He entered the game just 4-for-22 since the All-Star break, and the home run was his first since June 16. On the season, the 28-year-old is hitting .201 with 12 home runs, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and nine steals across 356 plate appearances.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

JULY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Varsho (knee) is batting fifth and playing left field Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Varsho was lifted from Wednesday's game against San Francisco with a left knee contusion and was given the day off Thursday. However, he'll rejoin the lineup Friday against Ryne Nelson and the Diamondbacks. Varsho is 4-for-24 with five walks and a stolen base in July.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup Varsho (knee) isn't in Toronto's lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

Impact Varsho will need another day to recover after leaving Wednesday's contest in the third inning following an awkward slide into first base. His absence from the starting nine will allow Davis Schneider to pick up a start in left field while batting seventh.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Varsho was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants due to an apparent injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Varsho made an awkward dive/slide into first base while trying to avoid being tagged out in the second inning. He was able to take the field for the bottom half of the frame but was eventually replaced in left field by Davis Schneider during the third. It's not immediately clear what exactly is bothering Varsho, but the Jays will take a closer look at him and should provide more details in the near future.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact Varsho started the past four games but will receive Thursday off after going 2-for-14 with a double and eight strikeouts during that stretch. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field against Houston lefty Framber Valdez.
