Addison Barger Slugs Third Home Run of the Season
Blue Jays Prospect Continues to Impress
Barger Expected to be Recalled From Triple-A Buffalo
Toronto Blue Jays prospect Addison Barger has continued to impress in the minor leagues, slugging his third home run of the season on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old infielder is now hitting .300 with seven RBIs in 18 games for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
Barger was drafted by the Blue Jays in the sixth round of the 2018 MLB draft. He has spent the past two seasons in the Blue Jays' minor league system, steadily rising through the ranks. Barger is a versatile infielder who can play shortstop, third base, and second base. He is known for his excellent fielding skills and his ability to hit for power.
According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, Barger is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Wednesday's game in Kansas City. This would be Barger's first call-up to the major leagues. If he makes the team, Barger would provide the Blue Jays with a much-needed boost in the infield.
The Blue Jays are currently in the midst of a playoff race, and Barger could be a key contributor down the stretch. He is a talented young player with a bright future, and he could soon be making a name for himself in the major leagues.
