Varsho went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
His fifth-inning shot off Nick Pivetta snapped a 23-game homer drought for Varsho, who slashed a feeble .185/.274/.262 over that stretch with zero steals, five RBI and seven runs. It's been a tough first season in Toronto for the 27-year-old, but despite a .663 OPS that's well below the level he's established in Arizona, he's still produced his second straight 15-15 campaign with 17 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 148 games.

Varsho went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
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 has 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.
