Addison Barger Scratched With Hip Discomfort
Addison Barger (hip) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Chicago White Sox due to right-hip discomfort, according to MLB.com's Keegan Matheson. With Barger now out of the lineup, Nathan Lukes will start in right field and bat out of the two-hole against White Sox right-hander Aaron Civale. Until we know more about Barger's injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. The 25-year-old has been solid offensively for the Blue Jays in June, hitting .276 (16-for-58) with four home runs, five doubles, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in 16 games. If he's forced to miss additional time or go on the injured list, Davis Schneider would benefit from more playing time in a corner-outfield spot in Toronto. Barger is slashing .270/.332/.500 on the year with an .832 OPS, eight homers, 24 RBI and 25 runs scored in 174 at-bats.
