Addison Barger Goes Back on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Monday that they placed infielder/outfielder Addison Barger (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 10) with right-elbow inflammation and recalled outfielder Yohendrick Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Barger had just returned on Saturday from an IL stint due to injuries to both of his ankles, but he ended up playing in just one game over the weekend before suffering an elbow injury. It's unclear what the severity of Barger's new injury is, but he's obviously been a big disappointment early in 2026 due to the injury bug. In just nine games played, he's hit .045 (1-for-22) with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, five walks, and seven strikeouts. Barger isn't a must-hold in mixed fantasy baseball leagues, and he's currently rostered in just 26% of Yahoo leagues. Pinango, a 24-year-old Venezuelan outfielder, is in his first MLB season. He got off to a good start in his first 10 games with Toronto, going 11-for-26 (.423) with four RBI and a run scored, and he'll now get another chance to prove himself in the Jays' outfield. UPDATE: Barger's MRI exam didn't show any structural damage in his elbow, per manager John Schneider.
