Daulton Varsho Remains Out on Tuesday With Wrist Injury
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (wrist) will start on the bench again for Tuesday's game against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies at the Rogers Centre, according to MLB.com. Nathan Lukes is starting in center field and will bat second for the team against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. The Blue Jays have said that they are optimistic that Varsho won't need a trip to the injured list, but this will be his fourth straight missed game due to inflammation in his left wrist. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Wednesday to see if he's cleared to rejoin the starting nine in Toronto. The 29-year-old former second-round pick in 2017 out of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been a very modest fantasy asset offensively this year, slashing .256/.331/.408 with a .738 OPS, five home runs, 17 RBI, 26 runs scored, and four stolen bases in his 211 at-bats. He's been ice-cold at the plate lately, too, going 7-for-41 (.171) with two doubles, a triple, an RBI, four runs scored, seven walks, and nine strikeouts in 15 ballgames since May 22. UPDATE: Manager John Schneider said that an MRI exam on Varsho's injured left wrist came back negative, according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi.
