One player the Blue Jays hope can step up is Addison Barger. Primarily utilized in the outfield this season, Barger has appeared in eight games in right field and one at third base. His versatility and athleticism could provide the team with much-needed flexibility going forward.

Toronto's Kevin Gausman was ejected after a 53-pitch inning -- the most by an MLB pitcher in an inning since 2022 -- in which he had five walks vs. the Yankees.

TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays activated Daulton Varsho off the injured list, and the Gold Glove outfielder will make his season debut against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Varsho was activated hours before Tuesday's game. The 28-year-old started the season year on the IL while recovering from right shoulder surgery in September.
