«It sucks when you see a player go down like that.»
«It sucks,» said outfielder George Springer, a close friend of Varsho's. «Ive been in that position before. To lose a guy like him, he's so valuable (with) the stuff he can do. So any time you see that, your heart hurts for him, but he'll be ok eventually.»
If a stint on the injured list is needed, Straw (19 starts this year), Nathan Lukes (10) and Springer (7) would all be options to start in centre. Meanwhile, the likes of Jonatan Clase and the recently recalled Alan Roden could get more opportunities in corner outfield spots should Varsho miss time.
«I'm not Daulton Varsho but i'll do anything i meed to do to help the team,» Springer said.
