Addison Barger - Page 19 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Belts first career homer Monday Barger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against Baltimore.

Impact Barger didn't start either contest and didn't play at all in Game 2, but he enjoyed an MLB milestone n the matinee with a three-run homer -- his first career long ball -- in the fifth inning. The outfielder entered that contest in the second frame as a result of Justin Turner being pulled after he was dealt to the Mariners in a trade. Barger has played sporadically while with the big-league club, and that doesn't figure to change much in spite of Toronto's roster shakeup given his .174/.197/.261 slash line on the season.

Returns to Toronto The Blue Jays recalled Barger from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact A calf strain sent Bo Bichette to the injured list Saturday, so Barger will now rejoin the big-league squad in order to give the Jays a glove that can play in both the infield and outfield. The 24-year-old has slashed .260/.391/.466 across 248 plate appearances in Triple-A this season. However, he's posted just a .360 OPS through 20 games in the majors.

Back in minors The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact With Justin Turner returning from the paternity list Saturday, Barger will end up as the odd man out of Toronto's 26-man roster. After rejoining the big-league squad in June, the 24-year-old outfielder slashed just .190/.227/.238 with four RBI in 44 plate appearances.

Heading back to bench Wednesday Barger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Barger will take a seat after he had started in eight of the Blue Jays' past 10 games, with five of those assignments coming at third base and the other three in the corner outfield. With Bo Bichette returning from the injured list Tuesday, Barger's opportunities to play in the infield will become more limited moving forward, but he could still push Davis Schneider or George Springer for the occasional start in left or right field.

Sent to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact Barger didn't have a realistic chance of making Toronto's Opening Day roster, but he still put on a show while in big-league camp with a .929 OPS in 19 plate appearances. The 24-year-old saw a lot of action in right field this spring, potentially setting him up for a promotion if George Springer goes down with an injury at some point this season.

Getting work in right field Barger has played a lot of right field so far in camp, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 24-year-old played four different positions last season in the minors, including 20 games each at third base and shortstop, but the Blue Jays seem to view right field as Barger's best defensive fit. He won't break camp on the big-league roster, but should George Springer go down with an injury and Barger is swinging the bat well at Triple-A Buffalo, it could position him to make his MLB debut over the summer.
