Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Delivers walk-off
Barger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 win over Arizona.
Barger and Bo Bichette hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Barger's served as a walk-off. The long ball was Barger's eighth of the season and sixth since May 30. He's been hot at the plate lately, going 18-for-60 (.300) with 14 runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 16 games.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: On bench Wednesday
Barger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
The left-handed-hitting Barger hasn't been a strict platoon player for the Blue Jays this season, but he'll nonetheless head to the bench for Toronto's second straight matchup with a lefty (Matthew Liberatore), after Barger previously sat against Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo last Thursday. With Barger out of the lineup, Ernie Clement will cover third base and George Springer will occupy right field.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Blasts two-run homer
Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over Minnesota.
Barger flirted with a home run after flying out to center field in the first inning, but he was able to leave yard in the fourth on a two-run shot off Bailey Ober. Barger is up to seven home runs on the season, five of which have come over his last seven games, and during that span he has a 1.263 OPS with seven runs scored and 10 RBI.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Sitting versus southpaw
Barger is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
The left-handed-hitting Barger was in the lineup each of the last three times the Blue Jays faced a lefty, but he'll grab a seat Thursday as they go up against southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Ernie Clement will start at third base and George Springer will play right field while Barger exits the lineup.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Homer streak at four games
Barger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Phillies.
The 25-year-old continues to pummel the baseball, crushing a Max Lazar fastball over the right-field fence in the eighth inning. Barger has gone deep in four straight games and hit safely in six straight, and since a breakout three-double performance May 9, he's produced a .325/.385/.639 slash line with eight two-baggers, six homers, 14 runs and 16 RBI in 91 plate appearances. With Andres Gimenez returning to the lineup Tuesday, Barger shifted to right field against southpaw Cristopher Sanchez and hit fifth in the order, but he has entrenched himself as an everyday player for the Blue Jays, either at third base or in right.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Homers in third straight game
Barger went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Barger was hitless before ripping a go-ahead three-run shot as part of Toronto's six-run eighth inning. It was his fifth long ball of the year, and he's gone deep in three consecutive contests. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .267/.333/.483 across 38 games this season. Over his last 17 games, Barger has gone 19-for-59 (.322) with nine extra-base knocks.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Scores three times Friday
Barger went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 11-7 over the Athletics.
Barger was brought home in the second and third frames before belting a solo home run off Grant Holman in the sixth. Barger is up to three home runs on the year and has a .869 OPS with one steal and 10 RBI over 96 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Contributes three hits in win
Barger went 3-for-4 with a double, one RBI, and two walks in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Padres.
Barger reached in five of his six plate appearances and improved his slash line to .267/.330/.442 in 94 plate appearances on the season. The 25-year-old has been feeling good at the plate lately, with Thursday being his fourth multi-hit performance in his last seven games, going 10-for-23 with three doubles and a home run in that stretch.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Swipes rare bag Tuesday
Barger went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
Starting at third base and batting seventh, Barger swiped his first bag of the year and only his third in 95 career big-league contests. The 25-year-old has never recorded more than nine steals in a season, even in the minors, but he's provided plenty of value of late with his bat. Over the last 12 games, Barger is slashing .317/.364/.561 with four doubles, two homers, six runs and seven RBI.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Launches second homer
Barger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-3 loss to the Rays.
Barger's two homers this season have come over the last four games. His multi-hit effort Thursday salvaged a difficult divisional series for the third baseman, who was 0-for-7 with three strikeouts across the previous two contests to follow up a five-game hitting streak. On the year, he's at a .231/.286/.415 slash line with nine RBI, seven runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 70 plate appearances. Barger has started seven games in a row at third base and will likely continue to see ample playing time until Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) is able to return.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Swats first homer of season
Barger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over the Mariners.
Barger's bat is warming up -- he's gone 8-for-18 (.444) over the last five games, driving in six runs in that span. His homer Sunday was his first of the year. Overall, he's .batting .241 with a .712 OPS, eight RBI, six runs scored and six doubles through 59 plate appearances. Barger has settled in as the everyday third baseman since Ernie Clement shifted over to second base to cover the absence of Andres Gimenez (quadriceps).

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Three doubles in win
Barger went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.
Barger had his best game of the season to date. He opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning and continued to put together good at-bats throughout the contest, with all three of his two-baggers registering exit velocities of 109 mph or greater. The Blue Jays have some moving parts now after Andres Gimenez (quadriceps) landed on the 10-day injured list, and that could open up third base for Barger on a regular basis with Ernie Clement moving over to second. Even though he's been making consistent hard contact -- Barger's AEV of 95.5 mph would be tied with Aaron Judge for third in the majors if he had enough plate appearances to qualify, and his 76.1 mph average bat speed would also be a top-10 mark, coming in just behind the likes of Shohei Ohtani and Pete Alonso -- he's hitting just .222 with a .641 OPS, no home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and no stolen bases over 49 plate appearances. He has racked up six doubles, but he hasn't been able to translate that into over-the-fence power consistently just yet.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Gaining traction in everyday lineup
Barger will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Barger has now been included in the lineup in five straight games, drawing three starts at third base and two in right field. The Blue Jays seem committed to deploying Barger in an everyday role, though he'll need to improve his production at the plate to build more job security. Since his April 15 call-up from Triple-A Buffalo, Barger has slashed just .147/.216/.235 over 13 games.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Will see starts at third base
Blue Jays manager John Schneider indicated Tuesday that Barger will see a significant amount of playing time at third base moving forward, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
There will be fewer at-bats to be had in the outfield for Barger with Daulton Varsho (shoulder) back from the 10-day injured list, but it sounds like Barger will slide into the role vacated by Will Wagner, who was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Ernie Clement is at the hot corner Tuesday versus the Red Sox and could still see the bulk of the starts there, but Barger will get his fair share.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Recalled from Triple-A
The Blue Jays recalled Barger from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
With Nathan Lukes placed on the paternity list, Barger gets the call to the big leagues after opening the season in the minors, where he slashed .211/.311/.421 with two home runs, seven RBI and six runs scored across 45 plate appearances. Barger will provide depth at third base and in the corner outfield spots for Toronto.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Could be back with Toronto soon
Barger may return to the major-league roster once Daulton Varsho (shoulder) is cleared to come off the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old played well enough this spring to earn a place on the 26-man roster, but the Jays needed extra depth in center field with Varsho sidelined, and Barger is mostly limited to the infield and outfield corners defensively. Once Varsho rejoins the roster, which should happen early in April, it could free a spot up for Barger's bat after he went 11-for-30 (.367) in Grapefruit League action with two doubles, three homers and a 4:10 BB:K.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Opening campaign in minors
The Blue Jays are sending Barger to Triple-A Buffalo to begin the season, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Barger has had a terrific spring, slashing .367/.429/.733 with three home runs, six RBI, eight runs and a stolen base. Nonetheless, Toronto isn't able to find room for him on the Opening Day roster. Barger will begin the campaign in Triple-A, where's he spent the majority of the past two years, but there's a good chance he'll get a call-up to the majors at some point in 2025.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Slugs third homer of spring
Barger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
The 25-year-old has put together a strong camp, batting .367 (11-for-30) in 15 Grapefruit League games with three homers, two doubles and a 4:10 BB:K. While Barger appears ticketed for a bench role with Toronto to begin the season, he could see semi-regular playing time while bouncing between third base, the outfield corners and DH.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Back in action Thursday
Barger (hand) is in the lineup for Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
A hit-by-pitch Sunday prompted X-rays, which were negative. Barger is now ready to return to action and continue his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster as a utility man. He split his time on the major-league roster last season between third base (36 games), right field (27 games) and left field (10 appearances).
