Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger is shut down again due to a back injury, delaying his return to the lineup, according to multiple reports. Barger, who has missed time earlier in the season with an elbow issue, has played only nine games so far and has been out since May 10 for a sore elbow. The latest setback involves his back, with at least one report describing a stress fracture. All accounts indicate the team will keep him out for several weeks as he undergoes evaluation and treatment. The injury compounds the time he has already lost this season and pushes back his timeline for resuming normal baseball activity. While specific medical details and an exact return date are not provided in the available summaries, the consistent reporting is that the back problem is significant enough to require a multi-week shutdown, further extending his absence from games.
