Blue Jays Activate Varsho, Springer on Concussion IL

The Toronto Blue Jays have activated Gold Glove center fielder Daulton Varsho from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday’s game against the Kansas City Royals following his recovery from a hamstring strain. In a corresponding move, veteran outfielder George Springer was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list after being struck in the head by a pitch during Monday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays, currently tied for the best record in the American League at 64-46, continue to lead the AL East. The team also added trade deadline acquisitions right-handed pitcher Louis Varland and first baseman Ty France, both set to be active for Friday's contest. Varsho’s return is expected to bolster the Blue Jays’ outfield defense, while Springer, who leads the team with 18 home runs, is eligible to return next week. These roster moves reinforce Toronto’s lineup as they push for a deep playoff run.
