The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated outfielder Addison Barger from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, while optioning fellow outfielder Yohendrick Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo.
Barger, 26, has been sidelined since April 5 due to sprains in both ankles. He went just 1-for-19 in eight games to start the season after slugging 21 home runs and driving in 74 runs across 135 games last year. In the postseason, he batted .367 with three homers and nine RBIs over 17 games.
Barger was in the starting lineup for Saturday’s home game against the Los Angeles Angels, playing right field and batting second.
Since making his MLB debut in 2024, Barger holds a career .224 batting average with 28 home runs and 104 RBIs in 212 games for the Blue Jays.
Pinango, 24, made his big-league debut on April 26 and was hitting .423 with one double and four RBIs over 10 games.
