Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider spoke to the media this morning about the plan moving forward for outfielder Daulton Varsho as he is still recovering.

Varsho has been recovering from his surgery faster than expected and has been throwing from 120 feet away but so far has only entered games as a DH in which he has done very well offensively.

John Schneider says the #BlueJays should have a decision on Daulton Varsho (shoulder) by the end of the week. He's throwing at 120 feet.

The Blue Jays know that Varsho is almost fully recovered and they are likely taking their time to bring him back so that they avoid an issue like last season when Kevin Gausman came back too early from an injury and struggled.
