    • 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 Today, 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 Today, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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
       
    • Daulton Varsho (back) will not play on Sunday
      Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider told reporters after Saturday’s game that Daulton Varsho has been dealing with some tightness in his lower back and will be held out of the team’s starting lineup on Sunday.

      Advice: The 27-year-old played the entire game on Saturday but reported to his manager afterwards that his back had tightened up on him. It doesn’t sound like anything that should lead to any sort of extended absence and there’s even a possibility that Varsho could be available to pinch-hit off the bench on Sunday. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:18 pm
       
    • Has back soreness, off Sunday
      Varsho experienced back tightness late in Saturday's game against the Guardians and will be given the day off for Sunday's series finale, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

      Advice: Varsho grounded out in the ninth inning but never made it out of the batters box, immediately grabbing at his lower back after making contact. Though the injury doesn't seem of much concern, Varsho will be held out of Sunday's contest. Varsho went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Saturday's 6-3 loss. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:06 pm
       
    • Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Saturday’s lineup vs. M’s
      Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Chisholm is back in center field for the second straight contest after being scratched earlier this week due to right hamstring tightness. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue going forward, but fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:41 am
