Blue Jays Receive Daulton Varsho News Before Red Sox Game
The Toronto Blue Jays have enjoyed a strong first half of the season, boasting a 43-37 record, as they prepare for a weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. Despite managing several injuries across its roster, Toronto remains in the playoff hunt, currently sitting at third in the AL East, just half a game behind the Tampa Bay Rays.

Toronto's outfield depth has been tested recently, prompting close monitoring of key players returning from injury. Among those is veteran center fielder Daulton Varsho, who has been sidelined since late May with a hamstring strain. His return could provide a boost to both the lineup and defense heading into the season's second half.

According to manager John Schneider, there's encouraging progress on that front.
Varsho is now 'running a little bit more' and could be cleared to run the bases soon, signaling positive progress as he prepares to return to game action.
He reportedly resumed running on Wednesday after a brief setback on Monday, and initial MRI results showed scar‑tissue irritation rather than structural damage, which keeps his rehab timeline intact (via CBS Sports).
Varsho electrified fans earlier this season by averaging a .207 batting average. He has launched eight home runs, with 19 hits and 20 RBIs in just 24 games while providing Gold Glove level defense in center field.

While Varsho continues his recovery, the Blue Jays (18-21 on the road) will hope to improve their record away from home when they take on the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday.

New York Giants among NFL's worst in Yahoo! Sports' offseason power rankings
When will the New York Giants get back into the good graces of experts who cover the NFL? The answer is: When they start winning consistently again. Until then, don't expect the red carpet to be rolled out or the white glove treatment. Advertisement The Giants, who have lost 10 or more games in nine of the past 11 seasons, continue to get no respect from national pundits, and deservedly so. In the latest NFL power rankings from Yahoo! Sports, Big Blue placed 27th of 32 teams -- actually better than most expected. The tone for this season all about whether head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen can survive again. The Giants have a really good defensive line, a secondary that has gotten an influx of talent, a future star in receiver Malik Nabers and not much else. There's still a long way to go before the Giants are contenders again. Daboll and Schoen need some results this season to stick around for those better days. But there is a twist to this season that can -- and probably will -- save Daboll's job along with Schoen's. They revamped their quarterback room, replacing Daniel Jones and Drew Lock with veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart. Dart is the best path to showing progress. Dart is an interesting first-round pick out of Ole Miss. He will take some time to learn an NFL offense, but he has enticing skills. Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston were signed before Dart was picked, and presumably Wilson will begin the season as the starter. If the Giants aren't much better than last season, the biggest question will be when to give Dart a shot. The reality is that decision will be made by a coach and general manager who are in self-preservation mode. Whatever is best for their survival will play a role in that decision. The Giants' offense was stuck in neutral most of the past two seasons with no confidence in Jones or any player who filled in for him. With established veterans and Dart under center, expect that play to improve. Advertisement The Giants lost eight games by one score or less in 2024. Their inability to put points on the board was seen as the culprit. That could be about to change. This article originally appeared on Giants Wire: Giants among NFL's worst in Yahoo!

The Hottest Team in Baseball Is Winning the Old-Fashioned Way
No team in baseball came into the season facing more turbulent headwinds than the Tampa Bay Rays. A hurricane had torn the roof off their stadium, forcing them to shack up at a spring training facility. Their young superstar, Wander Franco, was awaiting trial in the Dominican Republic on charges of sexually abusing a teenage girl, a crime for which he has since been convicted. Rumors of a potential sale of the franchise were swirling following the collapse of a hotly anticipated deal to build a new ballpark in St. Petersburg.
