Blue Jays Announce Daulton Varsho News After Leaving Athletics Game

Blue Jays Announce Daulton Varsho News After Leaving Athletics Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Toronto Blue Jays and Athletics are playing the third of four-straight games at Rogers Centre on Saturday. Toronto took the first two games of this series from the A's in convincing fashion. Winning 12-0 on Thursday, the Blue Jays followed that with an 11-7 victory on Friday.

Looking to make it a third straight win over the Athletics and fourth straight overall, Toronto fell in an early 3-0 hole on Saturday before rallying to score four in the bottom of the first, adding a run in each of the next to innings to lead 6-5 after three.

One early contributor was outfielder Daulton Varsho who walked, doubled and scored.

One of MLB's best defensive outfielders, Varsho has contributed offensively this season as well. His .783 OPS is a career-high and he has 20 RBIs in just 24 games. Unfortunately for he and the Blue Jays, an apparent leg injury forced his exit on Saturday.

Shortly after Varsho was removed the Blue Jays announced an official update, revealing Varsho exited due to left hamstring discomfort.

Injuries have cost Varsho time already this season. The 2024 Gold Glove Award winner missed time earlier in the year due to right shoulder surgery recovery, but has returned in good form.

Saturday's injury is obviously unrelated to Varsho's shoulder injury, but presents a problem for the Blue Jays if it forces him to miss an extended time. Not only will the team miss his Gold Glove defense, but the left-handed hitter has been among the team's best run producers since returning.
