Addison Barger Injury: Departs with ankle issues
Barger was removed from Sunday's game against the White Sox due to bilateral ankle discomfort, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
www.rotowire.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports:
- Addison Barger has been dealing with multiple injuries in 2026, including ankle issues earlier in the season. He was placed on the 10-day injured list with ankle problems in April, but later returned to the active roster before a subsequent elbow-related setback. Expect updates on his health from Toronto Blue Jays communications or major outlets as they occur.
- In May, reports indicated he returned to the active roster after ankle injuries but then faced an elbow issue that prompted an MRI, with team sources suggesting the elbow problem was not structurally related to major damage. His status remained fluid through early May as he progressed through rehabs and possible IL stints.
- Overall, the latest coverage points to a pattern of intermittent returns from injury followed by new concerns, so his availability for upcoming games may depend on ongoing evaluations and treatment plans.
If you’d like, I can pull more precise dates and provide a small timeline of each injury episode and IL stints, or focus on the most current report from a specific outlet.
