The Toronto Blue Jays announced a flurry of roster moves Sunday in the wake of the injury Daulton Varsho sustained Saturday against the Athletics.
The 2024 Gold Glover was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain and will be replaced on the 26-man roster by Davis Schneider, who was recalled from triple-A.
Right-handed reliever Erik Swanson was also reinstated from the 60-day IL, and in turn, left-handed starter Easton Lucas was optioned to the Buffalo Bisons. Swanson was recovering from median nerve entrapment in his pitching elbow.
Varsho, 28, is tied with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the team lead with eight home runs despite playing in only 24 of the Blue Jays’ 58 games thus far.
The left-handed hitting outfielder has also amassed a major-league-leading 60 defensive runs saved since 2023.
Schneider started the season with the Blue Jays, but struggled to find a rhythm at the plate, recording a single hit along with five walks in 21 plate appearances before being optioned to triple-A Buffalo.
During his time with the Bisons this season, the 26-year-old has slashed .226/.350/.391 with four home runs and 18 RBIs.
Watch as the Blue Jays attempt to sweep their four-game series against the Athletics Sunday on Sportsnet at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT.
