Blue Jays week in review: the good, the bad and the noteworthy for August 4
Briefly

The Toronto Blue Jays welcomed new and returning players, including Daulton Varsho off the IL. However, they experienced a tough week, going 2-5 and losing back-to-back series for the first time since May. Despite this slump, a successful stretch from June 24 had provided a cushion in the division race. As of now, Toronto (65-48) is three games ahead in the AL East, facing increased pressure from the Red Sox, who have significantly improved over recent weeks. Upcoming matchups against the Rockies and Dodgers highlight the need for a team reset.
The Blue Jays welcomed some new faces to the team and brought back some old ones with Daulton Varsho coming off the IL. Toronto went 2-5 dropping back-to-back series for the first time since May.
Thanks to a dominant stretch where they went 22-7 since June 24, they afforded themselves a week where they could underperform and still have a cushion in the race for the AL East crown.
