"Addison Barger officially began his rehab assignment on Sunday, going 1-for-2 with a two-run blast and a walk across three plate appearances with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays."
"Barger, who earned a four-pitch walk in his final plate appearance on the afternoon, served as the designated hitter for Dunedin as the organization eased him back into game competition."
"Prior to hitting the shelf, Barger had recorded just one hit in 19 at-bats with the Blue Jays before injuring both ankles while running to first base in Chicago versus the White Sox on April 5."
