MLB Outfielder Trips, Makes Stunning Catch

Daulton Varsho and his Gold Glove defense are back in the Toronto Blue Jays' outfield. Hours after being activated off the injured list, Varsho turned in a highlight-reel catch at the base of the wall in center field in his season debut. Varsho was retreating to the wall in center on a one-out drive by Boston's Jarren Duran in the fourth inning Tuesday night when he lost his balance as he reached the warning track, falling and rolling over. Able to get back up on one knee—and with his back turned to home plate—Varsho had the presence of mind to stick out his gloved left hand and make a remarkable catch.

USA Today makes the perhaps a-tad-too-early case that the 28-year-old Varsho may have just made "the catch of the year." Varsho, who missed the first 28 games of the 2025 season while recovering from right shoulder surgery in September, won his first Gold Glove award with Toronto last season, when he hit .214 with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs. He's a career .225 hitter with a .414 slugging percentage and 79 home runs over five seasons in Arizona and Toronto. The Red Sox bested the Blue Jays 10-2 on Tuesday.
