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.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirms it is unlikely Daulton Varsho's is ready for the start of the season
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.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider spoke to the media this morning and stated that they will be finally making a decision on Varsho at the end of the week but from the sound of it he will be starting the season off on IL.
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.
Schneider threw some cold water on the DH idea. It's all very day-to-day, but a brief IL stint to open 2025 is feeling likeliest.
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.
