Blue Jays' Addison Barger Injured Again After Return
11 May
Summary
- Addison Barger activated from IL, played one game, then scratched.
- Barger is undergoing an MRI on his elbow after icing it post-game.
- This new injury adds to Toronto's season-long struggles with player health.
Addison Barger's return to the Toronto Blue Jays was short-lived as he was scratched from the lineup after experiencing elbow pain in his first game back. The activation from the injured list, a welcome sight for fans, was immediately followed by concern as Barger was seen icing his elbow post-game and subsequently missed the next day's contest.
Further investigation is underway, with Barger scheduled for an MRI on his elbow, a different issue than what previously sidelined him. This latest development exacerbates the Blue Jays' already significant injury concerns throughout the season. The team faces uncertainty regarding Barger's availability, which could impact their offensive production and overall roster depth.
The Blue Jays had just snapped a four-game losing streak with Barger's activation. This new injury poses a significant challenge as the team heads into a series with the Tampa Bay Rays, potentially undermining their building momentum and adding another blow to team morale.
