    Toronto skipper John Schneider told reporters Varsho underwent an MRI that didn’t reveal any structural issues. It remains unclear why he simply hasn’t gone to the injured list since he’s out of the lineup for the fourth straight game with a lingering left wrist issue. It’s plausible that he’s available off the bench, if needed, but the Blue Jays will roll with Nathan Lukes patrolling center field on Tuesday night.
  • TOR 1st Baseman #27
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters they’re trying to shake things up for Guerrero and will see how it goes. It’ll be rookie Charles McAdoo at first base and hitting ninth with a scuffling George Springer getting a mental break. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar has just three homers through 65 games this season. He’s obviously capable of erupting for an extended power surge at any moment based on his track record. It’ll be a pair of certifiable beefy baseball boys in Guerrero and Phillies counterpart Kyle Schwarber atop their respective lineups in the Rogers Centre on Tuesday night.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #84
    Cease returns from a two-week stint on the injured list recovering from a left hamstring strain to take the ball against the Phillies at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday night. The 30-year-old upper-echelon fantasy starter holds a strong 3.05 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 92/26 K/BB ratio across 62 innings over 11 starts in his Blue Jays debut this season. His return will provide a much-needed lift for Toronto’s rotation mix and fantasy managers alike.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #64
    Macko heads back to the minors with marquee free agent acquisition Dylan Cease coming off the injured list to start Tuesday’s game against the Phillies. The 25-year-old lefty compiled a strong 1.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12/2 K/BB ratio across 12 innings over 12 appearances during his first stint with Toronto. He’ll return at some point later this summer.
  • TOR 2nd Baseman #22
    Clement became the first non-Cubs player to take Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez deep when he connected for a fifth-inning blast to left field. It was his seventh big fly of the season and second time he’s left the yard in three games. The unheralded 30-year-old is having a phenomenal season, hitting .309 through 66 games.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #46
    Corbin gave up four hits, including a two-run homer to Adolis García as he allowed four runs for the second consecutive start. The interesting wrinkle here is that Simeon Woods-Richardson tossed four scoreless innings out of the bullpen in his Toronto debut, which could set up a potential piggyback situation moving forward. Corbin is not a recommended fantasy option when he faces the Yankees on Sunday.
  • TOR Catcher #30
    Blue Jays manager John Scheider left open the possibility that Kirk could be ready for Friday’s series opener against the Yankees. The 27-year-old backstop kicked off a rehab assignment in the lower minors last week and will get a few additional contests under his belt to knock off any remaining rust this week. He’s been out since undergoing thumb surgery back in early April.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #93
    García has been slowly working his way back from last year’s right elbow procedure and figures to be ready to rejoin Toronto’s relief mix at some point this month. The 35-year-old has made four rehab appearances in the lower minors over the past month.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #84
    Schneider also added that Max Scherzer (forearm) will be activated to start Wednesday’s series finale at the Rogers Centre with Trey Yesavage being pushed back to Friday’s showdown against the Yankees. The influx of veteran reinforcements also pushes rookie standout Spencer Miles back to a long relief role. It’s a stunning turn of events that Toronto has a legitimate five-man rotation again after piecing things together for most of the last two months. Cease threw 75 pitches in his final rehab outing and shouldn’t have any limitations in his return from the injured list.
  • TOR Center Fielder #5
    Varsho remains on the bench for the third consecutive game due to a lingering left wrist issue. It’ll be Myles Straw continuing to handle center field in his absence. The 29-year-old is presumably available off the bench, which was the case over the weekend, but the Blue Jays are giving him some extra time off to manage the situation. It’s an encouraging sign that he’s managed to avoid a trip to the injured list.
