Blue Jays address Addison Barger injury recovery after rehab plan shift

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that Addison Barger’s recent return to Toronto was not due to a setback in his recovery from injury. Barger has been dealing with soreness while rehabbing from right elbow inflammation. His scheduled rehab assignment was canceled, but Schneider emphasized the importance of evaluating Barger in person. The team intends to proceed cautiously, as Barger is a key player for their postseason hopes. He is expected to require about a week of rehab games before potentially rejoining the active roster in early July.
