Addison Barger's WALK-OFF home run seals Blue Jays' 5-4 victory over Angels

AUGUST 24, 2024 • FOX SPORTS

Picking up fifth straight start Barger will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

Impact Barger will stay in the lineup for a fifth straight game, with the rookie having picked up three starts against right-handers and two against left-handers during that stretch. Until recently, Barger's opportunities had been fairly sporadic following his July 20 call-up from Triple-A Buffalo, but he's still produced a decent .727 OPS in spite of the inconsistent playing time. Barger has moved between right field and third base over his last five starts, with fellow rookies Leo Jimenez and Joey Loperfido typically exiting the lineup to make room for him.

Smacks second homer Barger went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and two total RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Barger led off the third inning with a solo shot off Grayson Rodriguez before driving in the Blue Jays second run with a two-out double in the fourth. The 24-year-old Barger has looked good since taking on a regular role in Toronto -- he's now 6-for-15 with two homers and four extra-base hits in his last four contests. With Justin Turner now in Seattle, the rookie could get an extended look down the stretch. Overall, Barger's slashing .197/.228/.329 with 11 RBI, seven runs scored and a stolen base in 80 plate appearances this season.

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.

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.
