The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Addison Barger on the 10-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation. The move came just two days after Barger returned from a previous stint on the IL with an ankle injury.
Barger had returned to the lineup Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels but felt sore the next day and was scratched from Monday's starting lineup. An MRI revealed inflammation with no structural damage, manager John Schneider said. Barger received a cortisone shot and will pause baseball activities for three to four days, with the team hoping he needs only the minimum time on the IL.
