Blue Jays in Free Fall Without Barger | Toronto Blue Jays News
Description
The Toronto Blue Jays are in freefall, reeling from four straight losses and now 13.5 games behind first place—with the trade deadline fast approaching. Their season has been derailed by the prolonged absence of young star Addison Barger, whose comeback has been repeatedly derailed by injuries: ankle, elbow, then a stress reaction in his back. Manager John Schneider admits Barger’s return is now uncertain, with an August earliest return date—if everything goes perfectly. The Jays have officially claimed Rudy Martin Jr. off waivers and sent Barger to the 60-day injured list, signaling he won’t return soon. With just nine games played and a losing record since his last appearance, the team faces a critical four-game sweep against the Rays, desperate to avoid another crushing loss.
