Daulton Varsho

Daulton Varsho is expected to begin a rehab assignment "soon" with Single-A Dunedin.

Fantasy Impact

Varsho and his wife are expecting a child in the coming days. He is expected to ramp up his rehab as soon as their baby arrives.

Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is throwing from 150-to-165 feet but has not yet been cleared for game throws in extended spring training, manager John Schneider told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca Friday. Varsho continues to hit without issue but needs to progress further in his throwing program following right shoulder surgery before a rehab assignment is considered.

Fantasy Impact

Varsho is increasing his throwing distance, but not being cleared for game throws yet means a rehab assignment isn't close. Expect the outfielder (recovering from shoulder surgery) back sometime in May at the earliest. Continue stashing him on IL.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Daulton Varsho threw at 150 feet Monday and felt good.

Fantasy Impact

Varsho continues to trend in the right direction. Per Nicholson-Smith, the max he’d need to throw would be 175-200 feet.

The Blue Jays placed Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Varsho is continuing to work his way back from offseason surgery. Alan Roden will take his spot while he is sidelined.

Daulton Varsho (shoulder) will open the season on the injured list, per team updates, despite DH success this spring, as he’s not field-ready by Opening Day.

Fantasy Impact

Varsho’s 1.126 OPS over 33 spring plate appearances as a DH, with 120-foot throws, won’t get him outfield-ready by Opening Day, per John Schneider, delaying his 2025 Blue Jays debut to at least April 6. Nathan Lukes steps in. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for early value in Toronto’s lineup once cleared.
