Blue Jays Receive Major Daulton Varsho News originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Toronto Blue Jays are riding a wave of momentum, having secured their fifth consecutive victory with a 6-4 comeback win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. This impressive stretch has improved their record to 34-29, placing them third in the AL East. The team's resurgence is largely attributed to a revitalized offense, with key contributions from players like George Springer and Addison Barger, who both homered in the recent game.

The Blue Jays aim to extend their winning streak in the second game of the series against the Twins on Saturday. Kevin Gausman (5-4, 3.82 ERA) is set to take the mound for Toronto, facing off against Minnesota's Chris Paddack (2-5, 3.58 ERA). The Twins, also holding a 34-29 record, will be looking to rebound and maintain their position in the AL Central.

Amid this successful run, the Blue Jays have been managing without key outfielder Daulton Varsho, who was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Varsho sustained the injury while attempting to stretch a hit into a triple during a game against the Athletics.
Despite this setback, there is positive news: Varsho has begun baseball activities at the team's complex in Dunedin, Florida. He is currently hitting in the batting cages and playing catch, though he has not yet resumed running.
While there is no definitive timeline for Varsho's return, his progress is encouraging. His return would bolster the Blue Jays' lineup, as he is tied with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer for the team lead with eight home runs, despite playing in only 24 of the team's 58 games this season. As Toronto continues its push in the standings, getting Varsho back to full strength could be a significant boost for the team's aspirations.
