Addison Barger Exits Early On Sunday
2 months agoToronto Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger (hand) was removed early from Sunday's spring training contest due to a right hand contusion. Barger was hit by a pitch from Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Garrett Crochet in the opening frame. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 25-year-old's status next week, as he may be held out of a few games out of precaution. Barger made his MLB debut last season and posted a .197/.250/.351 slash line with 11 doubles and seven home runs across 69 contests. He swiped two bags and held a 14:60 BB:K ratio. However, he did place in the 99th percentile in arm strength, according to Baseball Savant. Fantasy managers should expect Barger to compete for the starting job at the hot corner during camp alongside Ernie Clement.
