Current News

Varsho fouled a ball off of his facemask during the team's 10th game of the season in early April. Varsho was originally expected to miss just one to two games as the team ran concussion protocol, but his return will now be delayed due to lingering symptoms.

Varsho hasn't been able to pass the league's concussion protocol and hasn't even been able to do light workouts as he works his way back from the injury. The Diamondbacks will be without their starting catcher for the time being with no timetable for his return.

The team has been without Varsho and his power bat in the middle of the lineup. Varsho has been a key part of the Diamondbacks lineup when healthy and the team hopes to get him back as soon as possible. Varsho is also a very good defensive catcher and the team misses him behind the plate as well.

How the Diamondbacks Will Replace Varsho?

In the meantime, the Diamondbacks will continue to use a combination of Carson Kelly and Jose Herrera behind the plate. Kelly is the team's primary catcher, but he has also been dealing with some injuries this season and has not been able to stay on the field consistently.

Herrera has been called up from Triple-A Reno to fill in for Varsho and Kelly. Herrera is a capable backup catcher, but he is not as good as Varsho defensively or offensively. The Diamondbacks will hope that Kelly can stay healthy and that Varsho can return soon so that they can get their starting catcher back in the lineup.

Conclusion

Varsho's absence is a big blow to the Diamondbacks, but they are hopeful that he will be back soon. In the meantime, they will continue to use a combination of Kelly and Herrera behind the plate. The Diamondbacks will hope that Varsho can return soon so that they can get their starting catcher back in the lineup.
