Blue Jays centre-fielder Daulton Varsho (5) is looked at by a team trainer after being injured while running the bases in the third inning of a Major League Baseball game in Toronto on Saturday, May 31, 2025.

Overview

  • Daulton Varsho was moved to the 10-day injured list on June 1 after leaving May 31’s 8-7 win over Oakland with left hamstring discomfort
  • He suffered the strain while trying to stretch a double into a triple in the third inning at Rogers Centre and underwent an MRI exam to assess the injury
  • Varsho had returned this season from a September rotator cuff surgery and had hit eight home runs in 24 games, making his absence a significant setback
  • The Blue Jays extended their home winning streak to six games despite losing their Gold Glove center fielder midgame
  • In addition to recalling Davis Schneider, Toronto activated relief pitcher Erik Swanson from the 60-day injured list to bolster the roster
