Recently, George Springer was injured. He's not on the injured list, but he needs a little time to help his wrist heal well for the rest of things.
And there, Nathan Lukes was placed on the paternity list for a few days because he will become a father. So it opened a position in the outside field for a few days.
And without Springer, it really takes reinforcement.
This is what makes the young Addison Barger were recalled. On this day Jackie Robinson, he will strike seventh in the offensive order and play in the right.
To see Alan Roden in the left and Barger in the right can be an overview of what the corners of the outside field will look in the coming years, if things develop in this way.
Obviously, the plan is to have Daulton Varsho in the center, but good.
Barger had done well last year and at Camp 2025 of the club. The surplus of players had forced him to start the season in the AAA, but his power makes it a candidate of choice to possibly make his place in the major for good.
It is up to him to prove himself today. After all, because of the circumstances, it may not have 135 chances to do it either before seeing a veteran take back his place as a regular.
