Daulton Varsho Getting A Breather Against Rays
Daulton Varsho will retreat to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre. Myles Straw will start in center field and bat eighth versus Rays right-hander Zack Littell. In 11 games since returning from offseason shoulder surgery on April 29, Varsho has gone 9-for-40 (.225) with five home runs, a double, 11 RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base for the Blue Jays. He's had four built-in off days along the way to help ease him back into the fold. The 28-year-old isn't going to provide much in terms of average -- he has a career .225 average in 588 big-league games -- but it's been nice to see him go deep five times in his first 11 games. Straw is hitting a strong .290 (20-for-69) early on, but he'll be a low-upside DFS option with limited power down at the bottom of the order. He's never faced Littell.
