Former Blue Jay Daulton Varsho undergoes wrist surgery to remove multiple cysts

Houston Astros outfielder Daulton Varsho underwent left arthroscopic wrist surgery on Tuesday to remove multiple cysts, officially ending his 2026 season. The procedure addressed two cysts pushing against a ligament that had hindered his mobility and performance for months, dating back to his time with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Houston acquired Varsho at the trade deadline in exchange for Spencer Arrighetti, but the 30-year-old struggled through discomfort, batting just .172 with a 48 wRC+ in 41 games for the Astros before being placed on the injured list on September 24.
