Rainer Nunez - Ascends to Double-A Nunez was promoted from High-A Vancouver to Double-A New Hampshire on May 30.
Impact The 22-year-old first baseman is known for his high-end exit velocities (35.4 Hard%), but he hasn't quite translated his raw power to game power yet. Nunez slashed .309/.390/.446 with three home runs and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate in 37 games at High-A.

Bo Bichette - Belts 13th homer Bichette went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Astros.
Impact He tagged Rafael Montero for an insurance run in the eighth inning, giving Bichette 13 homers on the year and four in his last 11 games. The shortstop has been held hitless only twice in his last 17 contests, a stretch in which he's slashing an impressive .360/.368/.560.

Daulton Varsho - Goes yard again Tuesday Varsho went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Astros.
Impact He took Hunter Brown deep in the fourth inning, giving Varsho homers in back-to-back contests as he extended his hitting streak to 10 games. The 26-year-old has only one multi-hit performance during that stretch, but it's still an encouraging turnaround after he held a .209/.278/.361 slash line when the streak begin May 27.

George Springer - Clubs ninth homer Springer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Astros.
Impact His third-inning shot off Hunter Brown got the Blue Jays on the board, and gave Kevin Gausman all the run support he would need. Springer has shaken off his early-season struggles and is batting .303 (30-for-99) over his last 25 games with five of his nine homers and five of his 10 steals on the season.
JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Gausman - Ties career high with 13 Ks Gausman (5-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Astros, allowing one run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out 13 without walking a batter.
Impact One day after Alek Manoah lasted only one-third of an inning and lost his spot in the rotation, Gausman gave his bullpen a needed breather with another dominant performance. The veteran right-hander generated 36 called or swinging strikes among his 101 pitches as he tied his career high with 13 strikeouts, and if it weren't for a Mauricio Dubon leadoff homer he might have taken aim at his first career shutout. Gausman has 10 quality starts and six double-digit strikeout efforts among his 13 outings this season, and he'll take a 2.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and eye-popping 113:18 K:BB through 82 innings into his next start, likely to come at home this weekend against the Twins.
