The Toronto Blue Jays are on a roll, having won their fifth consecutive game with a thrilling 6-4 comeback victory against the Minnesota Twins. This victory improves their season record to 34-29, placing them third in the competitive AL East. A significant factor in this resurgence has been a revitalized offense, highlighted by key contributions from George Springer and Addison Barger, both of whom homered in the game. On the mound, Kevin Gausman is scheduled to pitch against Chris Paddack, as the Blue Jays aim to extend their winning streak into the next game.

Despite the absence of outfielder Daulton Varsho, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, the Blue Jays have managed to maintain their momentum. Varsho began baseball activities recently, including batting practice and playing catch, although he hasn't yet resumed running. His eventual return is highly anticipated, as he ranks among the team leaders in home runs along with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer. As the Blue Jays strive for a playoff spot, Varsho’s return could significantly enhance their offensive capabilities.
