Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Scratched with sore elbow
The Blue Jays scratched Barger from the starting nine for Sunday's game against the Angels due to a sore right elbow.
Barger had been slated to bat leadoff and start in right field in his second game back from the IL, but he'll end up hitting the bench while he tends to an injury that may have resulted from a 101.2 mph throw from right field Saturday that erased Jorge Soler at the plate and prevented a run. Ernie Clement is now in line to serve as Toronto's table setter in the series finale, while Myles Straw was a late addition to the starting outfield. After a month-long stint on the injured list due to left and right ankle sprains, Barger was activated Saturday and went 0-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in the Blue Jays' 14-1 victory.
