"Barger is hitless through 13 at-bats to open the campaign, while Varsho has just one hit in his last 10 trips to the plate. Neither has looked like their usual dangerous selves."
"The Blue Jays haven't exactly been facing elite pitching, either. The Athletics and Colorado Rockies fielded two of baseball's worst pitching staffs in 2025, and neither group projects to be much better this season."
"Facing a few right-handed pitchers in a row should help them both get into a better rhythm."
"Just about everyone on the team has struggled with their offensive performance early in the season."
The Toronto Blue Jays have a 4-2 record in the 2026 season, with strong starting pitching and decent relief efforts. However, the offense is not performing well, particularly with key players like Addison Barger and Daulton Varsho struggling. Barger is hitless in 13 at-bats, while Varsho has only one hit in his last 10 at-bats. Despite their spring training success, both players have not translated that performance into the regular season. The team has faced weaker pitching, which adds to the surprise of their struggles.
