Blue Jays' Varsho Injury Deepens Roster Crunch

On April 18th, the Toronto Blue Jays are getting hammered by injuries right out the gate in the 2026 MOP season, especially among there.

Position players, they're sitting at 7 wins and 11 losses, dead last in the American League East.

Stars like George Springer, with a broken left toe, Alejandro Kirk, nursing a fractured left thumb and breakout slugger Addison Barger, sidelined by A.

Left ankle sprain, have already thinned the roster big time.

Then on Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, center-fielder Dalton Varsho had to leave early in the third inning with left knee discomfort.

He'd struck out in his only at bat before back up, Miles Straw stepped in for him.

This one hurts extra because Varsho is a gold glove defender in center and still swinging a solid bat.

Fans in the team are feeling the depth crunch hard in a loaded division.

The severity is unclear right now, so expect more tests soon to see if he hits the injured list.

At 29, he's in his final year of team control and eyeing free agency where good health could land him a fat deal.

Toronto's just trying to keep their head above water, hoping this latest hit doesn't sink their season before it really gets going.
