Blue Jays Send OF Addison Barger (Elbow) Back to 10-Day IL
Toronto also recalled Yohendrick Piñango and selected Yariel Rodríguez after Barger returned to the injured list with elbow inflammation.
On Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Addison Barger on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation and designated pitcher Eric Lauer for assignment.
Barger returned Saturday from an ankle injury, but an MRI revealed elbow inflammation after he made a 101.2 mph throw from the outfield against the Los Angeles Angels.
Lauer fell to 1-5 with a 6.69 ERA this season, delivering a rough outing in Sunday's 6-1 loss to the Angels before his designation.
To fill the roster spots, Toronto recalled outfielder Yohendrick Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo and selected right-handed pitcher Yariel Rodriguez to the major league roster.
The 18-22 Blue Jays begin a three-game series against the American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays at Rogers Centre on Monday night.
