Swipes rare bag Tuesday Barger went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Impact Getting the start at third base and batting seventh, Barger swiped his first bag of the year and only his third in 95 career big-league contests. The 25-year-old has never recorded more than nine steals in a season, even in the minors, but he's provided plenty of value of late with his bat. Over the last 12 games, Barger is slashing .317/.364/.561 with four doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI.

Launches second homer Barger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Rays.

Impact Barger's two homers this season have come over the last four games. His multi-hit effort Thursday salvaged a difficult divisional series for the third baseman, who was 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across the previous two contests to follow up a five-game hitting streak. On the year, he's at a .231/.286/.415 slash line with two long balls, nine RBI, seven runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 70 plate appearances. Barger has started seven games in a row at third base and will likely continue to see ample playing time until Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) is able to return.

Swats first homer of season Barger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mariners.

Impact Barger's bat is warming up -- he's gone 8-for-18 (.444) over the last five games, driving in six runs in that span. His homer Sunday was his first of the year. Overall, he's .batting .241 with a .712 OPS, eight RBI, six runs scored and six doubles through 59 plate appearances. Barger has settled in as the everyday third baseman since Ernie Clement shifted over to second base to cover the absence of Andres Gimenez (quadriceps).

Three doubles in win Barger went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Barger had his best game of the season to date. He opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning and continued to put together good at-bats throughout the contest. The Blue Jays have some moving parts now after Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the 10-day injured list, and that could open up third base for Barger with Ernie Clement moving over to second. Even with Friday's big game, Barger is hitting just .222 with a .641 OPS, no home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases over 49 plate appearances. He has racked up six doubles, but he hasn't been able to translate that into over-the-fence power consistently just yet.

Gaining traction in everyday lineup Barger will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Barger has now been included in the lineup in five straight games, drawing three starts at third base and two in right field. The Blue Jays seem committed to deploying Barger in an everyday role, though he'll need to improve his production at the plate to build more job security. Since his April 15 call-up from Triple-A Buffalo, Barger has slashed just .147/.216/.235 over 13 games.

Impact There will be fewer at-bats to be had in the outfield for Barger with Daulton Varsho (shoulder) back from the 10-day injured list, but it sounds like Barger will slide into the role vacated by Will Wagner, who was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Ernie Clement is at the hot corner Tuesday versus the Red Sox and could still see the bulk of the starts there, but Barger will get his fair share.
