Daulton Varsho Missing Third Straight Game With Wrist Injury
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (wrist) is out of the starting lineup once again for Monday's series opener at the Rogers Centre against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies, per MLB.com. Myles Straw will make another start in center field for Toronto and will bat seventh against Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Varsho is not expected to require a stint on the injured list due to inflammation in his left wrist, but this will be his third straight game on the bench. The good news is that the 29-year-old made an appearance in Sunday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles as a defensive replacement, signaling that he could be back on the field in a starting role as early as Game 2 of the series in Canada on Tuesday. Varsho hit off a pitching machine earlier on Monday and could be available as a pinch-hitter in the series opener. He's a defensive stalwart in center for the Jays, but he's provided very little for fantasy managers in 2026 with his bat, hitting .256 (54-for-211) with five home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 63 games played.
