Daulton Varsho immediately showing why the Blue Jays didn’t need to trade for a power bat at the deadline

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho is making up for lost time with a power surge that has changed the look of the team’s offense with his return to the lineup last week.

The 29-year-old was activated off the injured list last Friday, and while he was hitless in the series against Kansas City, Varsho has picked up his production with a pair of huge games in Colorado. He’s collected five hits in 10 at-bats, with three homers, a double and 10 RBI, including a career-high six during Tuesday’s 10-4 romp.

Of course, we shouldn’t overreact to a couple of offensive breakouts in hitter-friendly Coors Field, but what Varsho has displayed this week is simply a continuation of the prodigious power that he’s displayed all season.
