Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Addison Barger, 26-year-old Toronto Blue Jays outfielder, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 10, 2026 with right elbow inflammation. This came just one day after his return from a 33-day absence due to a right ankle sprain. Barger made an immediate impact upon his return, throwing a 101.2 mph strike from right field to cut down a runner at the plate on May 9. However, he woke up the following day with limited range of motion in his right elbow and was scratched from Sunday's lineup. An MRI revealed no structural damage to ligaments or loose bodies, and he received a cortisone injection. The Blue Jays hope for a short stint on the IL, though Barger is reportedly frustrated with the recurring injury issues.
