Daulton Varsho to the Blue Jays’ Injured List
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed outfielder Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain.
Varsho suffered the injury while attempting to convert a triple during Toronto’s victory against the Athletics on Saturday.
Myles Straw will take the position in center field and will bat eighth in the lineup for the final game of Sunday’s series.
Varsho, 28, is batting .207 with eight home runs (leading the team) and 20 RBIs in 24 games this season.
In addition to Varsho’s situation, the Blue Jays made other moves on their roster.
- Infielder Davis Schneider was called up from Triple-A Buffalo.
- Relief pitcher Erik Swanson was activated from the 60-day injured list.
- Left-handed pitcher Easton Lucas was optioned to their Triple-A team.
Swanson, 31, has been affected by median nerve compression since spring training. He has an ERA of 10.13 with a 0-1 record in 5 1/3 innings during seven relief appearances in the minors this spring.
Schneider, 26, has a 1-15 record with one career RBI and eight strikeouts in 10 games this season with the Blue Jays.
Lucas, 28, who was called up from Buffalo on Saturday and earned the win for the Blue Jays after 4 2/3 scoreless innings, is 3-2 with a 5.82 ERA this season.
