Big night in Tampa Varsho went 2-for-6 with two runs scored and three RBI in Tuesday's rout of the Rays

Impact There was plenty of offense to go around in the Toronto lineup as the Blue Jays nearly set franchise records with a 27-hit, 20-run eruption, and every starter recorded at least two hits. Varsho had gone 13 straight games without registering multiple hits, slashing just .125/.160/.271 during his slump, but this may have been the spark the 26-year-old needed to get his bat going.

MAY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Batting seventh Varsho is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Blue Jays on Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

Impact Varsho was down in the seven spot once this past weekend, as well, as he battles through a 5-for-45 slump. He did homer Monday and has put five over the boards this month, so he hasn't been totally bereft of production in May.

MAY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Two extra-base hits in win Varsho went 2-for-5 with a double, a homer and two RBI in Sunday's 10-1 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Varsho has now hit safely in six straight contests, going 11-for-24 with three home runs in that span after batting just .186 in his first 28 games. Varsho's hot streak has boosted his line to .238/.319/.413 through 144 plate appearances. He's added five homers, 15 RBI, 17 runs scored and six stolen bases while getting regular at-bats in the middle of Toronto's lineup.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep again Varsho went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Boston on Wednesday.

After going deep just twice in his first 28 games this season, Varsho has now homered in consecutive contests. He's starting to emerge from a disappointing start to the campaign but is still slashing just .209/.302/.364 through 126 plate appearances.

MAY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Launches third homer Varsho went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact The Blue Jays did all their scoring in the fifth inning, with Varsho's blast off Tanner Houck giving them a 6-3 lead that Yusei Kikuchi and the bullpen couldn't protect. The multi-hit performance was Varsho's first since April 12, and a 6-for-61 slump in between those efforts has dragged his slash line down to .198/.295/.330. The 26-year-old has kept his fantasy value from completely cratering with three homers, five steals, nine RBI and 14 runs in 29 games on the season.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hits second homer Varsho went 1-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's victory over the Yankees.

Impact Varsho went back-to-back with Vladimir Guerrero in the sixth inning, extending Toronto's lead to 3-0. It's Varsho's second home run of the year and his first since April 4. Following a hot start with the Jays, Varsho has cooled off of late, going 4-for-35 in his last nine games. He's slashing .224/.318/.355 with five RBI, 12 runs scored and four stolen bases through 88 plate appearances this season.
