A controversial missed strike call in Game 3 of the World Series on Daulton Varsho, a shorter hitter, highlights ongoing issues with umpire accuracy and the potential impact of the upcoming Automated Ball-Strike System (ABS) which aims to address such discrepancies based on hitter height.
Shane Bieber returned from injury to pitch six strong innings, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-2 victory over the Miami Marlins, with key contributions from Daulton Varsho and Ty France.
The Toronto Blue Jays placed Daulton Varsho on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain and activated Erik Swanson from the IL to make his season debut, as they manage injuries in their outfield and pitching staff.
As the Arizona Diamondbacks prepare to face the Toronto Blue Jays in their first series after the All-Star break, the trade that sent Daulton Varsho to Toronto is being evaluated. So far, the Diamondbacks have come out ahead in terms of wins above replacement value (WAR), with Varsho's defensive contributions and Moreno's potential as a catcher being key factors. However, Gurriel has been the standout offensive player in the trade, making his first All-Star Game appearance. The two teams have similar records, and Varsho will face his former team for the first time in the upcoming series.
The Toronto Blue Jays have won seven of their last nine games and are within striking distance of a wild-card spot. To continue their hot streak, their All-Stars must play like All-Stars, Varsho needs to make more of an impact offensively, the margins of the roster need to be improved, and they need to take advantage of head-to-head matchups. The next two weeks will be a measuring stick for the Blue Jays as they face tough opponents, including direct competitors for wild-card spots.
