Addison Barger Shut Down for Two Weeks Due to Back Stress Reaction

Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger has been shut down for at least two weeks following a diagnosis of a stress reaction in his back. This injury further complicates an already difficult, injury-plagued season for Barger, who was previously managing an elbow issue. Manager John Schneider confirmed the team is taking a cautious approach to his recovery to ensure he can return to full health, though the setback significantly delays his anticipated return to the lineup.
