TOR • Infielder • #47

The Blue Jays entered the bottom of the sixth tied at 2-2 with the Dodgers, and exited it up by nine runs. Four of those came on one swing of the bat, as Barger clobbered a grand salami off Anthony Banda to extend the lead to 9-2. Barger has had his issues in this postseason, but he appears to be figuring it out with homers in two of his last three playoff games. The Blue Jays now lead 1-0 in the series, and will look to extend that lead to 2-0 with Kevin Gausman squaring off against Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Saturday.

Barger’s second homer of the series gave the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead in the fourth, and the game never really got close afterwards. Barger, who was dropped from fourth to seventh in the Toronto lineup in Game 3 against the Mariners, is now at .281/.361/.531 in October. Game 7 of the ALCS will be played Monday, with George Kirby and Shane Bieber expected to start. The Jays prevailed 13-4 when those two previously matched up in Game 3.

Barger crushed a two-run shot in the seventh to give Toronto a 10-4 lead. The 25-year-old had some significant ups and downs in 2025, but the season should be considered a success with a .756 OPS, 21 homers and 74 RBI.

Barger got the start at third base and put the Blue Jays on the board with a solo blast off Tomoyuki Sugano to lead off the fifth inning. Barger later drew a walk in the seventh. The 25-year-old is hitting .251/.308/.471 with 20 homers and 68 RBI across 453 plate appearances.

The sac fly on a liner to right was initially an RBI single, but it was correctly changed to an error against Jesús Sánchez, who had the ball go off his glove. Barger has been struggling some of late, but he hasn’t had to worry about playing time with Bo Bichette on the IL; he’s started all three games at third base this week, with Ernie Clement sliding over to shortstop.

The Jays only have two experienced first basemen on the roster, so with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. limited to DH duties, someone needs to sit to make room for Ty France. It’ll be Daulton Varsho getting the night off tonight, as the Jays go with a George Springer-Nathan Lukes-Barger outfield.

It appears to just be a day off for Barger. He’ll sit with Buddy Kennedy manning the hot corner and hitting eighth.

Barger, who is hitting .500 (6-for-12) with one homer in three games since the All-Star break, takes a seat with lefty Carlos Rodón taking the hill for New York on Monday night at the Rogers Centre. The 25-year-old rookie figures to continue sitting against tough southpaws, but he’s earned an everyday role for Toronto with his stellar performance this year. It’ll be Joey Loperfido in right field on Monday evening in his place.

Barger’s home run was a 407-foot shot that capped off a four-run fifth inning to take the lead. It was his 14th home run on the season to go along with 42 RBI and a .272/.325/.521 slash line in 75 games. The 25-year-old has certainly played his way into the long-term plans for the Blue Jays.

The double probably ought to have been a fourth single, but neither Jung-Hoo Lee nor Luis Matos played the liner to right-center very enthusiastically and it wound up going to the wall. Barger’s hits ranged from 98 to 108 mph. His average is sitting at .273, a massive improvement over last year’s mark of .197 in 225 plate appearances.

Barger victimized A’s left-hander Jeffrey Springs for a 448-foot (107.8 mph EV) two-run shot with two outs in the seventh inning, pulling the Jays to within three runs at 6-3. That would be his only hit on the afternoon. The versatile 25-year-old did a nice job in the first half of the season, hitting .261/.317/.506 with 13 homers and 40 RBI in 266 plate appearances.

In a tie game, the Jays had first and third with no outs in the 11th after no one could field Nathan Lukes’ sac bunt attempt. George Springer and Bo Bichette weren’t able to end it from there, but Barger singled past Nolan Schanuel with two outs to win the game. It was his second RBI single of the contest. He has nine RBI over the last four days, and he’s batting .294 with nine homers and 24 RBI in his last 32 games.

Barger’s line drive homer tonight left his bat at 108.2 mph and traveled 401 feet, but his first double might actually have been more impressive; it was an opposite field shot at 104.9 mph and 383 feet. It would have been a homer in seven ballparks, according to Statcast. There are only a handful of major leaguers consistently hitting the ball as hard as Barger right now. He doesn’t always make contact, but there’s enough here to think he’ll last as a fantasy contributor.

The Jays scored seven runs in the first and led 8-0 after four, only to watch the Yankees come all of the way back and tie the game at 9-9 in the top of the eighth. Barger’s fourth RBI came as part of a two-run bottom of the eighth in which the go-ahead run scored on a wild pitch. Barger now has 10 homers and an .818 OPS in 229 plate appearances this season. He had seven homers and a .601 OPS in 225 plate appearances as a rookie last year.

Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went back-to-back off Walker Buehler in the first. It was Barger’s lone hit, but he did total three hard-hit balls to go along with a strikeout. He’s batting .250/.300/.512 with five homers in June. It’s not quite as good as his May, but it definitely ought to keep him in the lineup.

It’s notable that Barger is sitting out Tuesday’s series opener with lefty Logan Allen toeing the rubber for Cleveland after missing time over the weekend with right hip discomfort. It sounds like purely a matchup-related decision to go with Ernie Clement at first base, but it’s a situation fantasy managers should keep a close eye on.

It’s an extremely encouraging development for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers that Barger isn’t facing an extensive absence after being scratched from Saturday’s lineup with right hip discomfort. The 25-year-old breakout slugger presumably checked out fine after additional evaluation and testing since he’s back in Toronto’s lineup at third base and batting second for Sunday’s series finale.

Not great. Barger will presumably undergo further evaluation and testing this weekend to determine whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. It’ll be Davis Schneider taking over in right field. The 25-year-old rookie has been a revelation this season for Toronto, hitting .270/.332/.500 with eight homers, 24 RBI and one steal over 54 games. There should be some clarity on his status ahead of Sunday’s series finale at the Rogers Centre.

The 25-year-old laced a 106.6 mph double in the third inning and then followed that up with a 100.3 mph double in the sixth inning. Barger has been a huge addition to this Blue Jays lineup, and his positional versatility allows him to play third base and the corner outfield spots, and will keep him in the lineup regularly. He’s been one of the better waiver wire adds of the year.

The Jays entered the ninth inning trailing 4-3 when Bo Bichette crushed a one-out, game-tying solo shot off of Shelby Miller. Barger then followed with a 408-foot (109.3 mph EV) solo shot that walked it off for the Blue Jays. The versatile 25-year-old finished the evening 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and is now hitting .264/.322/.497 with eight homers, 23 RBI and one stolen base through his first 177 plate appearances on the season.

Everyone should be paying attention to Barger right now. This home run was his fifth in his last seven games as he now sports an .842 OPS in 42 games this season. Along with that longball, three of his four balls in play were hit at least 105.5 mph and he’s earned some of the best underlying power metrics in the league. While Andrés Giménez has returned to the lineup, Barger has kept his every day role and steadily hit in the top third of the Blue Jays’ lineup. He may be on his way to being a pivotal player to this fantasy baseball season.

Barger wasn’t alone in going hitless for the Jays in the 2-1 loss, but he did it differently than everyone else, as the rest of the lineup combined for only one strikeout on the night. Barger came into the night having struck out just twice in his last six games.

Barger has been moved to the heart of Toronto’s lineup, directly behind franchise cornerstone Vladimir Guerrero Jr., after homering in four consecutive games. The 25-year-old has been one of the biggest breakouts in the fantasy landscape this season, hitting .274/.338/.508 with six homers, 19 RBI and one steal in 39 games. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture.

It’s his fourth straight game with a homer. Barger has been so impressive that he’s now started against three straight lefties, even though he hasn’t really hit southpaws yet. The homer tonight, like his other five this season, came off a righty in Max Lazar. He’s 9-for-21 with the four homers and just one strikeout in his last six games, raising his OPS to .846. He should be grabbed in mixed leagues in which he’s still available.

Barger’s home run was his fifth of the year. With Toronto trailing 4-2 in the eighth inning, the 25-year-old third baseman crushed a three-run home run to put the Blue Jays ahead. Barger continues to mash the baseball as he’s hitting .267 with an .816 OPS and 17 RBI on the year. With Ernie Clement also producing offensively, the Jays could have a playing time crunch when Andres Gimenez returns.

Barger has been bumped up to the heart of Toronto’s lineup, with veterans George Springer and Daulton Varsho moved down to accommodate the move, after going 4-for-5 with a homer during Friday’s slugfest at the Rogers Centre. The 25-year-old prospect has been a revelation this season for the Blue Jays, hitting .299/.370/.495 with three homers, 12 RBI and one steal over his last 30 games. He’s deserving of a roster spot for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues.

Barger will start his 18th consecutive game at the hot corner on Tuesday night dating back to May 8. The 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy contributor is slashing a robust .302/.362/.508 with two homers, nine RBI and one steal during that span. He’s definitely worthy of a roster spot in deeper fantasy formats.
