7/26/25	Daulton Varsho Homers Again As Blue Jays Outfielder Nears Return From Injury. Daulton Varsho could be returning from the injured list soon, which would be a huge boost for the Toronto Blue Jays. Varsho was only able to play in 24 games before he exited on May 31 against the Athletics with a strained hamstring. It will be interesting to see what happens when Varsho is ready to be activated off the IL. Toronto has gotten red-hot while he's been on the shelf, so conventional wisdom would suggest that adding the 2024 Gold Glove winner back to the roster would only boost them even further.

7/23/25	Star Blue Jays Outfielder on Pace To Return During Important Series. One area the Toronto Blue Jays could look to improve ahead of the MLB trade deadline next week is their outfield. A major reason why they could be searching for reinforcements is because of the continued absence of center fielder Daulton Varsho, who has been sidelined multiple times this season because of injury. This time it was his hamstring that was hurt, as he went down on May 31 and has not been in the mix for the Blue Jays since. As shared by Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, manager John Schneider revealed that Varsho will be with Triple-A Buffalo by Friday as part of his rehab assignment.

6/15/25	Two Toronto Blue Jays Stars Listed Among Best Defenders in Baseball. The Toronto Blue Jays have had a surprising stretch as of late and their stellar defense has been a large part of that. Through 68 games, they had a team defensive runs saved of 28, which is the sixth-best mark in MLB. While a number of their players have had great years defensively, two Blue Jays stars were recently listed among the best defenders in the league by Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer. Outfielder Daulton Varsho and catcher Alejandro Kirk were both listed among the "honorable mentions" section. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/bluejays/news/two-toronto-b...

6/03/25	[The Score] - Blue Jays riding unsung heroes through hot stretch. The Toronto Blue Jays continue to be a wild ride, sweeping the Athletics in a four-game series at Rogers Centre and riding a five-game winning streak heading into a tough matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies. After struggling mightily just one week ago in Tampa Bay and Texas, the offense erupted to score 39 runs in four games.Here, we look at a few storylines that have emerged lately and investigate how they might shape things moving forward.How for real is Barger? Mark Blinch / Getty Images Sport / GettyAddison Barger had a monster weekend series against the Athletics and appears to be on the verge of truly breaking out.The 25-year-old had six hits in four games, including a double and three home runs. Each homer was crushed, with exit velocities of 109.8 mph, 109.4 mph, and 112.3 mph. Barger's raw power stands out, as he ranks in the 99th percentile among hitters with a 95.1-mph average exit velocity this season.Barger's biggest improvements this year have been his plate discipline and defense. He's cut down his strikeouts and increased his walk rate from a 69-game stint with the Blue Jays in 2024.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Defensively, Barger sits in the 83rd percentile with two outs above average after finishing last campaign minus-6. His arm strength has been a huge asset at third base, and he's put together a seven-run swing in defensive run value from 2024 to 2025. Everything points to Barger's start to the season being more of a trend than a mirage. That could be a game-changer for the Blue Jays as they look to stay in the postseason conversation deep into the summer.All-Star Kirk returns Colton Hall / Major League Baseball / GettyAlejandro Kirk is playing his best baseball in almost three years. The 26-year-old was an All-Star in 2022 and one of the top catchers in the sport. But he struggled to replicate that form over the past two years, emerging more as a great defensive catcher with middling offensive production.The light turned back on at the plate for Kirk in May. He finished the month with a .365 average, .849 OPS, and just four strikeouts in 74 at-bats. His 54.3% hard-hit rate is the highest of his six-year career. Red metrics (red means good) also fill Kirk's Baseball Savant page on both the offensive and defensive sides.The Blue Jays made a bet that Kirk would be a stabilizing force behind the plate when they signed him to a five-year contract extension ahead of the season. So far, Kirk is validating that confidence.Managing Varsho's absence Cole Burston / Getty Images Sport / GettyToronto suffered a tough blow when Gold Glove outfielder Daulton Varsho strained his left hamstring while trying to leg out a triple against the Athletics. The Blue Jays listed Varsho as week-to-week, and he'll likely miss most of June due to the injury.In Varsho's absence, it looks like the club will fill center field using Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes. Varsho is far from a perfect player, but his combination of power and elite defensive play is hard to come by in the position. Expect Straw to play against left-handed pitchers and Lukes to start against righties.Lukes has been one of the unsung heroes over the first few months of the season, posting a 130 wRC+ with four home runs and a .369 on-base percentage in 43 games. Straw's numbers against left-handed pitching jump off the page. He's hitting .333 with a .769 OPS in 42 at-bats versus southpaws this campaign.Straw's registered three outs above average in center field this season and is a far superior defensive option than Lukes. While it won't be perfect, the Blue Jays should get by without Varsho if Lukes and Straw can continue producing at a similar level for the next few weeks.Rodríguez finds ideal role Paul Rutherford / Getty Images Sport / GettyYariel Rodríguez has worn a few different hats for Toronto since signing a five-year, $32-million contract ahead of the 2024 campaign. He showed flashes in 21 starts during his rookie year with a 4.47 ERA and 85 strikeouts in 86 2/3 innings. The Blue Jays moved him into more of a swingman relief role heading into this season, with other options available in the rotation.Rodríguez had a bumpy March and April, registering a 5.68 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 11 appearances. However, things completely changed for the 28-year-old in May when the team deployed him in a more consistent role. Rodríguez responded by dominating opposing hitters to a 0.53 ERA with 18 strikeouts against three walks in 17 innings.With Yimi García sidelined because of a shoulder impingement, Rodríguez's emergence has become even more important as he moves into a high-leverage role. He's thrived under the pressure, holding opposing hitters to a paltry... Source: https://sportspyder.com/mlb/oakland-athletics/arti...
