Addison Barger Undergoes Elbow UCL Repair, Out Six Months

Addison Barger underwent surgery Monday to repair his right elbow UCL. While the recovery is expected to take approximately six months, the procedure was a repair rather than a full reconstruction, leading the Blue Jays to express optimism that he will be ready for spring training. The infielder will be sidelined for the remainder of the current season as he begins his rehabilitation process.
