The first-place Astros acquired the center fielder from the Blue Jays for starting pitcher Spencer Arrighetti just before the trade deadline. A couple of hours later, Varsho finished his pregame preparations by taking swings in the home batting cage. “It was definitely weird going from that cage to this cage,” Varsho said, shaking his head. Espada said he plans to play Varsho only in center field and raved about his skills on offense and defense. In 99 games this season, Varsho has hit .243 with seven homers and 26 RBIs.
