"Barger was trying to beat out the play and as he extended his legs toward the bag, he hit the base awkwardly and came up limping for a few steps after getting past first."
"During the third inning of Sunday's game, Barger hit a ball up the middle that looked like it was going to get through, but rookie shortstop Tanner Murray made a fantastic play up the middle to snag the grounder."
Addison Barger, a rising star for the Toronto Blue Jays, struggled at the beginning of the 2026 season, going hitless with six strikeouts in his first five games. After receiving a reset from manager John Schneider, Barger showed signs of improvement. However, he was removed from a game against the Chicago White Sox due to bilateral ankle discomfort after a play at first base. The team anticipates he may need a few days of rest.
