Blue Jays place outfielder Varsho on 10-day IL with hamstring strain, activate reliever Swanson
The Toronto Blue Jays put outfielder Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list Sunday because of a strained left hamstring, one day after the 2024 Gold Glove winner left a game against the Athletics after injuring his leg running the bases. The Blue Jays also activated right-hander Erik Swanson off the 60-day IL and recalled utilityman Davis Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo. Left-hander Easton Lucas was optioned to Triple-A. In the third inning of Saturday's 8-7 win, Varsho grabbed the back of his thigh after rounding second base on a base hit off the wall, hopped a few steps and fell near third base as he was tagged out by Max Schuemann. Varsho missed the early part of the season after undergoing off-season shoulder surgery. He has a .207 average with eight homers and 20 RBIs in 24 games. Myles Straw, who replaced Varsho on Saturday, was set to start in centre field in Sunday's series finale. Swanson has not pitched this season because of median nerve entrapment. The six-year veteran went 2-2 with a 5.03 ERA in 45 games with Toronto last season. Schneider hit .067 with no homers and one RBI in 10 games with the Blue Jays earlier this season before being sent to Buffalo.

Blue Jays designate RHP Jose Urena for assignment
June 1 - The Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday designated right-hander Jose Urena for assignment. The 33-year-old has appeared in 239 MLB games in his career. In 2024, he went 5-8 with a 3.80 ERA in 33 outings for the Texas Rangers. Urena signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets during the offseason. On April 28, he made his season debut, allowing five earned runs in three innings of relief against the Washington Nationals. After only one game, the Mets designated him for assignment, and he elected free agency, signing with the Blue Jays. In Toronto, Urena posted a 3.65 ERA across 12 1/3 innings. In a corresponding move Saturday, the Blue Jays recalled left-hander Easton Lucas from Triple-A Buffalo. The 28-year-old already has thrown 21 2/3 innings for Toronto this season, producing a 2-2 record and a 5.82 ERA. --Field Level Media
