Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Not starting Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays' outfielder Daulton Varsho has been removed from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Reason for Benching

Blue Jays manager John Schneider has yet to release an official reason for Varsho's benching. However, it is speculated that the move may be related to Varsho's recent defensive struggles or a desire to give him a day of rest.

Performance This Season

Varsho has been a valuable contributor to the Blue Jays since being acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a trade. In 100 games with Toronto, he has a .279 batting average, .780 OPS, 17 home runs, and 49 RBIs.

Impact on Blue Jays' Lineup

Varsho's absence from the lineup will likely lead to George Springer or Raimel Tapia starting in center field. It is also possible that Jackie Bradley Jr. could get the nod.
