    • George Springer finds power stroke in win
      George Springer went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 9-4 win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

      Advice: It was Springer’s sixth home run of the season and first since June 4th. Springer only has three home runs since April 24th, so we’re not looking at a power surge here. It’s also Springer’s first multi-hit game since June 3rd. It’s certainly nice to see, but the 34-year-old is still just 13-for-78 (.167) in June so we’ll need to see a few more games like this before we believe he’s figuring things out.

    • Daulton Varsho remains out Tuesday with back issue
      Daulton Varsho (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Varsho has been held out of Toronto’s lineup for three consecutive games due to back tightness, but appears to be available off the bench for now. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the Blue Jays clearly don’t want to push it and potentially make things worse. He’s day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:29 pm
       
    • On bench again
      Varsho (back) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Varsho will be out of the starting nine for the third straight game after tweaking his back Saturday. Kevin Kiermaier will make another start in center field and bat ninth Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:25 pm
       
    • Daulton Varsho (back) could come off bench Monday
      Daulton Varsho, who missed Sunday’s game with back tightness, is likely to be available off the bench Monday.

      Advice: Varsho worked out on the field today, but the Blue Jays decided to hold him out initially, at least. They have Davis Schneider in left and Kevin Kiermaier in center tonight. Rotoworld Monday, 2:23 pm
       
    • Remains out of lineup
      Varsho (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Boston.

      Advice: Varsho tweaked his back on a swing in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Guardians and has now been out of the lineup for two straight contests. He's available off the bench, per Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic, seemingly giving him a good chance to return to the lineup Tuesday. Kevin Kiermaier will handle center field Monday while Varsho takes a seat. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:27 pm
       
    • Sitting Sunday as expected
      Varsho (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

      Advice: Varsho will be given the day off Sunday after experiencing lower left back tightness on his swing in the ninth inning in Saturday's loss, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. The good news for Varsho is his injury is believed to be short term, and the 27-year-old is expected to avoid a stint on the IL. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field Sunday and bat ninth against Cleveland right-hander Triston McKenzie. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:19 am
       
    • Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns at DH on Sunday vs. M’s
      Jazz Chisholm Jr. (biceps) is in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Mariners.

      Advice: It’s a rare bit of positive injury news for Miami as Chisholm is back at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale following an early exit from Saturday’s game due to right biceps tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment and it’s certainly a welcome development for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:08 am
       
    • Daulton Varsho out Sunday with back tightness
      Daulton Varsho (back) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Guardians.

      Advice: As expected, Varsho will sit out Sunday’s series finale due to lower back tightness. The 27-year-old outfielder has been playing through the issue recently and the team doesn’t want to take any chances that it gets worse. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    • Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves game with tight biceps
      Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Saturday’s game against the Mariners due to tightness in his right biceps.

      Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder had been 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout when Vidal Brujan surprisingly hit for him in the sixth inning. The severity of the injury is not yet known, so be sure to check his status on Sunday. It may be wise for fantasy managers to have a contingency plan in place for next week in the event that Chisholm requires a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Saturday, 5:12 pm
