Daulton Varsho Resumes Hitting on Tuesday
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (wrist) resumed hitting on Tuesday, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Zwelling reports that Varsho will continue to ramp up over the next few days as the Blue Jays "evaluate his next steps." Varsho was placed on the 10-day injured list on June 10 due to wrist inflammation, but it appears he may have avoided a significant injury and could return close to when he is first eligible. Across 236 plate appearances in 2026 before the injury, Varsho hit .256/.331/.408 with five home runs, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored, and five stolen bases. The 29-year-old has drastically cut down his swing-and-miss this season, reducing his strikeout rate from 28.4% in 2025 to 19.1%. However, he's also seen a significant drop-off in power, as his barrel rate has fallen from 15.9% to 6.0%. If Varsho can make a quick return from his current injury and rediscover some of his power, he could emerge as a strong contributor for fantasy managers in the second half of the season.
