  • Myles Straw will start in center field and bat eighth for Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics
  • Toronto recalled utilityman Davis Schneider from Triple-A Buffalo, activated reliever Erik Swanson from the 60-day IL and optioned left-hander Easton Lucas back to the minors
  • Varsho had returned from September 2024 shoulder surgery and was batting .207 with eight home runs and 20 RBIs in 24 games before the injury
