Varsho has only played in seven games this year, but they’ve been seven good ones. He’s homered three times already, and his slugging percentage is a remarkable — and entirely unsustainable — .727 over 22 at-bats. Varsho has been a mediocre offensive player in his two seasons with the Blue Jays, but it’s possible at the age of 28 he’s having a breakout campaign. Far from a guarantee, but possible.

Varsho returns to center field and will bat sixth on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium after being scratched from Sunday’s lineup with lower back tightness.

The positive news here for fantasy managers is that Varsho’s absence isn’t related to the offseason shoulder procedure. The 28-year-old center fielder will sit out Sunday’s series finale at the Rogers Centre, but figures to have a decent shot at being ready for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels out in Los Angeles. It’ll be Nathan Lukes shifting over to patrol center field on Sunday with rookie Alan Roden entering the lineup in left field.
