The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping that gold glove centerfielder Daulton Varsho will be able to start playing in games next week. Especially how the outfield has been plating as of late.
Daulton Varsho's second stint on the Toronto Blue Jays injured list may be coming to a close soon.
Per MLB.com's Keegan Matheson, who posted to X (formerly Twitter), Varsho is running again. According to the report, he should get into games next week.
Varsho left a game after he tried to leg out a double into a triple and felt pain in his left hamstring. It was enough to cause him to stop in mid-stride and be tagged out at third before he left the game with trainers. He was in considerable pain.
Before the injury, he was on a tear, even with a slash of .207/.240/.543. He had eight home runs and 20 RBI in just 24 games.
Varsho started the season on the 10-day injured list as he was recovering from right shoulder surgery in the offseason. He went to Buffalo on April 22 for a rehab assignment and spent a full week with the Bisons before he was promoted to Toronto.
During the rehab he slashed .120/.148/.120 with no home runs and three RBI.
Alan Roden is still dealing with swelling in his knee after leaving a game with an injury earlier this week. He remains day to day and Toronto is hoping he can avoid a stint on the injured list.
Anthony Santander, who has been on the IL since he suffered a shoulder injury last month, continues to rehab by throwing but is still not hitting at the team's facility in Dunedin, Fla.
Starting pitcher Max Scherzer, who is coming off a successful rehab game with Buffalo on Wednesday, is set to pitch a bullpen on Saturday.
