Published
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho missed Saturday's loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after being hit in the hand by a pitch on Friday.
Varsho left Friday's 7-2 loss to Milwaukee in the seventh inning after he was hit by a 97 MPH fastball from Brewer's left-handed pitcher Aaron Ashby.
The 29-year-old's X-Rays came back negative but still has some pain and swelling on the area he was hit.
The gold glove outfielder has only appeared in 47 games this season while he was dealing with shoulder and hamstring injuries.
Varsho is hitting .226 this season with 15 home runs and 42 RBIs.
Toronto is holding onto the AL East lead with a 78-58 record and are three games ahead of the New York Yankees and a half game behind the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League.
