Blue Jays’ Daulton Varsho: Not Starting on Sunday

Introduction

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho will not be in the starting lineup on Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays. Manager John Schneider made the announcement after Saturday's game.

Reasons for Decision

Schneider cited Varsho's recent struggles at the plate as the reason for the decision. Varsho is 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts in his last four games.

The Blue Jays are hoping that a day off will help Varsho get back on track.

Impact on Blue Jays

Varsho's absence from the lineup will likely mean more playing time for Raimel Tapia in left field. Tapia has been hitting well lately, going 6-for-14 with two doubles and three RBIs in his last four games.

Conclusion

Varsho's benching is a reminder that even the best players can go through slumps. The Blue Jays are confident that Varsho will be back to his old self soon.
