Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Shut down through Monday
www.cbssports.comHere’s what’s currently most relevant about Addison Barger:
-
He was active with the Toronto Blue Jays in spring 2026, with ongoing injury updates around his ankles in April. Reports noted he was shut down from baseball activities through at least the Blue Jays’ off day in mid-April, suggesting a temporary IL stint or additional down time [sources indicate ankle soreness with a return timeline being examined]. This situation had him listed on the injured list discussions as of early April 2026. [See sports reporting from CBS Sports, RotoWire, and others from early April 2026.]
-
As of mid-April 2026, there were indications he was progressing—catch work and running were described as next steps by various outlets, with a potential return around late April depending on healing and performance progress. The consensus in multiple outlets pointed to him being a candidate to rejoin the lineup once cleared by the medical staff. [Multiple outlets in early-to-mid April 2026.]
Would you like me to pull the latest updates from specific outlets (e.g., CBS Sports, MLB.com, or ESPN) and summarize them with timestamps? I can also provide a brief timeline of his injury status and expected return windows if that would help.
