The Toronto Blue Jays announced that Addison Barger has been placed back on the 10-day Injured List due to right elbow inflammation, just one game after his return from a month-long absence caused by an ankle injury. Barger played his first game back against the Los Angeles Angels on May 9, where he went 0-for-3 but made a notable defensive play with a 101.2 mph throw to cut down a runner at home plate. This season has been challenging for Barger, who has struggled at the plate with a .045 batting average and a .305 OPS. The Blue Jays are facing significant injury challenges, which have impacted their performance. With Barger sidelined again, Yohendrick Pinango is set to return to the Major League roster.
