The Toronto Blue Jays recalled utilityman Addison Barger and designated Dan Vogelbach for assignment, the team announced on Friday, June 14.
Barger who is the Blue Jays fourth-ranked prospect by ITD, spent a short stint with the Blue Jays in late April making his major league debut, hitting .056 (1-for-18) throughout five games with six strikeouts. The Blue Jays noted that he will be active for the Jays’ Friday game against the Cleveland Guardians.
Vogelbach has only made appearances as a designated hitter this season. He hit .186 with just one home run in his 79 plate appearances throughout 31 games this season.
