The Toronto Blue Jays will start Louis Varland on the mound in Game 4 of the ALDS vs. Yankees.
This is certainly a very risky move as Varland as he did not look great yesterday as he gave up 2 hits, 2 earned runs and struck out 2 batters in 1 inning pitched.
After the game, Aaron Judge stated that he received some intel of Varland from Giancarlos Stanton as he was headed to the plate then ended up hitting a massive homerun.
Giancarlo Stanton gave Aaron some intel on Louis Varland before his AB. Stanton faced the Blue Jays reliever back at Rogers Centre.

«Talked to him (Stanton) about what some pitches were like. I hadn't seen Varland since he was with Minnesota as a starter.»
Hopefully this will be the right decision as the Blue Jays look to close out the series.
