Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder Daulton Varsho was removed from Friday nights game vs the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Toronto Blue Jays are facing yet another injury to a key piece of their lineup.
Centre-fielder Daulton Varsho left Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the third inning with left knee discomfort, per a team announcement.
UPDATE: OF Daulton Varsho was removed from tonight's game with left knee discomfort.
Varsho took one at-bat in the top of the first, striking out looking, and played two innings defensively before Myles Straw took over in centre.
It is unclear when Varsho sustained the injury.
The 29-year-old entered Friday as one of Toronto's hottest hitters.
After his first-inning strikeout, Varsho owned a .262/.333/.462 slashline with three home runs and four doubles.
Varsho dealt with shoulder and hamstring issues in 2025, but still managed to hit 20 home runs in the 71 games that he did play.
Daulton Varsho entered tonight 3rd among #BlueJays hitters in fWAR (0.5) this season, and after playing just 71 games a year ago, is another one of those players this team can ill afford to lose.
If Varsho were to miss any time, it would further test the Blue Jays' depth, as lineup regulars George Springer, Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk are already on the injured list.
The Wisconsin native is in his fourth season with the Blue Jays and has also appeared for the Diamondbacks over the course of his 667-game MLB career.
Expect to hear an update on Varsho from manager John Schneider in his postgame presser.
