Blue Jays Place Daulton Varsho on the Injured List With Wrist Inflammation
The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Daulton Varsho (wrist) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with left-wrist inflammation and recalled infielder/outfielder Davis Schneider from the minors in a corresponding move, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Varsho has battled wrist inflammation for roughly a week. The Blue Jays initially thought he'd avoid the IL. It has been a disappointing year offensively for the 29-year-old Varsho, who will head to the shelf with a .256/.331/.408 slash line, .738 OPS, five home runs, 17 RBI, five stolen bases, and 27 runs scored in 64 games across 236 plate appearances. With Varsho on the sidelines for a bit longer, expect Toronto to mix and match in center field with Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes. Lukes is the more attractive option in deeper fantasy leagues for a short-term playing-time boost North of the border. Lukes, 31, is currently hitting .311 (33-for-106), but with only one homer, 12 RBI, and 13 runs scored for the Jays.
