Daulton Varsho Back In Blue Jays' Lineup After Brief IL Stint

[Steve Drumwright]

 

The Toronto Blue Jays have one of their key offensive pieces back.

Center fielder Daulton Varsho was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday by the Blue Jays, who also got right-handed reliever Lazaro Estrada back from the 60-day IL. Second baseman Charles McAdoo and left-handed reliever Brendon Little were optioned to Triple-A Buffalo to make room.

Varsho missed the minimum time due to inflammation in his left wrist. Varsho is slashing .256/.331/.408 with five homers and 17 RBIs this season.

Estrada has been out since April 5 with a right shoulder impingement. He had made one appearance, going four scoreless innings, not allowing a hit while walking a pair and striking out three. He has been on a rehab assignment the last three weeks.

McAdoo made his MLB debut by appearing in eight games, going 4-for-25 with a homer and three RBIs.

Little was called up Friday and pitched one inning in the Jays' 16-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He allowed four runs on two hits and three walks with one strikeout.
