Daulton Varsho - Swats 15th homer Varsho went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.
Impact He gave the Jays an early 2-1 lead in the second inning by taking Aaron Nola deep, but it was the only extra-base hit Philly pitching gave up all night. Varsho's had a tough first campaign with Toronto, but he could be turning things around for the stretch run. Over his last 12 games, the 27-year-old outfielder is batting .278 (10-for-36) with three of his 15 homers on the year and 10 of his 44 RBI.

Kevin Gausman - Falters against Phillies Gausman (9-7) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings as the Blue Jays were downed 9-4 by the Phillies. He stru...
Impact The right-hander continues to alternate strong outings with poor ones since the All-Star break, and this one was particularly rough as Gausman managed to generate only six swinging strikes among his 84 pitches. Over his last five starts, he's posted a 4.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 34:8 K:BB through 28.2 innings, a step back from his performance in the first half of the season. He'll look to right the ship in his next start, likely to come next week in Baltimore.

Bo Bichette - Two hits in rehab debut Bichette (knee) went 2-for-3 with two singles and a run scored in his rehab debut Wednesday for Triple-A Buffalo.
Impact Bichette was supposed to begin his minor-league rehab assignment with Buffalo on Tuesday before the game got postponed due to rain. He served as Buffalo's designated hitter Wednesday but is scheduled to play shortstop Thursday and could return to the Blue Jays' active roster as early as Friday's series opener in Cincinnati. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since late July because of patellar tendinitis in his right knee.

Santiago Espinal - Nabs fourth straight start Espinal will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Espinal will stick in the lineup for the fourth game in a row, with each of his last three starts now coming at third base in place of the injured Matt Chapman (finger). Though he's held his own over the last three games with three hits, two RBI and two runs over 11 at-bats, Espinal will likely be headed back to a utility role in the near future, assuming Chapman is able to avoid a trip to the injured list.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cavan Biggio - Gaining foothold at second base Biggio will start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Biggio will get his fifth straight start Wednesday, with four coming at the keystone during that stretch. He's earned the extra playing time by providing an .847 OPS through his first nine games in August, and Biggio could have an extended leash in a near-everyday role in the Toronto infield with Whit Merrifield having moved to the outfield to help cover for the injured Kevin Kiermaier (elbow).
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Schneider - On bench for third straight Schneider is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Schneider was a popular waiver-wire pickup after he opened his big-league career with nine hits -- including two home runs -- in his first three games, but he's gone 1-for-12 with seven strikeouts over his subsequent four contests and no longer looks to be in store for steady playing time. He'll be on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Jansen - On bench Wednesday Jansen is out of the lineup again Wednesday against the Phillies.
Impact Alejandro Kirk will get a second straight start at catcher despite going 0-for-4 versus the Phillies on Tuesday. Jansen suffered a right hand contusion last Thursday but returned to action Sunday. Maybe he's still battling some discomfort.
AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Chapman - Out again with thumb issue Chapman (finger) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.
Impact Chapman hasn't played since Saturday due to inflammation in his right middle finger. Toronto is off Thursday, so the third baseman might be completely held out of action until Friday's series opener in Cincinnati. Santiago Espinal will handle the hot corner and bat eighth Wednesday versus Philly.
