Daulton Varsho is expected to debut for the Blue Jays on Tuesday against the Red Sox after recovering from right rotator cuff surgery. Starting the season on the injured list, he has logged at-bats as a designated hitter and completed a minor league rehab assignment. While the Jays have performed defensively, they need Varsho's power to enhance their offense. Manager John Schneider indicates a decision on the roster move will happen soon. Meanwhile, Max Scherzer's ongoing injury recovery may delay his return to the bullpen.
Varsho's biggest power season remains his 2022 campaign with the Diamondbacks, as he has only a .398 slugging percentage (but with 38 homers) in 1094 plate appearances in a Blue Jays uniform.
The Jays have remained a very strong defensive team even in Varsho's absence, and since Toronto's lineup has been sorely lacking in power, the bigger boost would come if Varsho can more consistently unlock the home run pop he has shown at times.
