Blue Jays Place Daulton Varsho on 10-Day IL with Hamstring Strain

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed outfielder Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain sustained during a game against the Athletics. Varsho, who had recently returned from offseason shoulder surgery, was off to a strong start with eight home runs in 24 games before the injury. The team will rely on Myles Straw, Nathan Lukes, and George Springer to fill the void in center field, while utilityman Davis Schneider has been promoted to the majors. Manager John Schneider and teammates expressed their sympathy and confidence in Varsho's eventual recovery. Additionally, the Blue Jays activated relief pitcher Erik Swanson, who has been sidelined with a nerve issue, and optioned Easton Lucas to Triple-A to make roster space. Varsho's absence is a significant blow given his combination of elite defense and offensive contribution.
