Kazuma Okamoto - Collects three hits in win Okamoto went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

Impact After singling twice across his first four plate appearances, Okamoto delivered the biggest hit of the night in the eighth inning, ripping a two-run double to extend Toronto's lead. The rookie has bounced back nicely after opening the second half in an 0-for-22 slump, collecting eight hits over his last five games. Through 106 contests, Okamoto is slashing .231/.308/.453 with 24 home runs, 14 doubles, 68 RBI, 57 runs scored and one stolen base.

Louis Varland - Escapes jam in two-inning save Varland recorded his 23rd save Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one over two scoreless innings.

Impact Varland was summoned in the eighth inning with a three-run lead after Tyler Rogers allowed a run and left runners on first and second with no outs. He issued a walk to load the bases but escaped the jam unscathed. In the ninth he worked around a leadoff single from Jorbit Vivas to lock down his 23rd save this season. The right-hander has converted seven saves over his last nine appearances while recording 11 strikeouts across 10 innings during that stretch. For the season, Varland owns a sparkling 0.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 73:23 K:BB over 55 innings.

Through three starts since the All-Star break, Yesavage has allowed seven runs across 16.2 innings while piling up 22 strikeouts. He owns a 3.73 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:45 K:BB over 91.2 innings this season and is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Astros.

Sam Shaw - Shelved at High-A High-A Vancouver placed Shaw on the 7-day injured list July 9 due to an unspecified injury.

Impact Shaw didn't debut for Vancouver until June 7, after he opened the season on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a blood clot near his shoulder, which stemmed from thoracic outlet syndrome, per Steve Ewen of The Vancouver Province. The Blue Jays haven't revealed if Shaw's latest move to the IL is related to the blood clot or the result of a different injury. Shaw had fared well over about a month's worth of action at Vancouver, slashing .239/.427/.535 with six home runs and three stolen bases in 21 games.
