Blue Jays Injuries Healing, Barger Returns

0:00It's April 16th. This is Toronto Blue Jays News today, powered by AI Everything Happening With Your Team. I'm Cory with the story. The Toronto Blue Jays, baseball's most banged up squad since spring, sit at seven wins and ten losses, but they're finally turning the corner on, injuries. Rookie starter, Trey Yesavash, looks ready to rejoin the rotation any day now, and veteran Jose Barrios isn't far off either. On the hitting side, good news rolled in Thursday for Outfielder George Springer and Addison Barger. Barger, nursing an ankle tweak, started baseball drills down in Florida, tossing the ball the past couple days and set to swing the bat by Friday, or Saturday. Fans are buzzing about Barger's return after a rough zero for 19 start this year. A far cry from his breakout 21 homers last season. The sixth round pick from 2018 could slot right back into right field, easing up minutes for slumping Nathan Luke's, who's batting just, 65.

As for the pitching front, Patrick Corbin takes the mound Thursday afternoon at 140 against Milwaukee's Brandon Sprote in the series. Finale might be Corbin's last go if Yesavash checks in soon. With these pieces clicking back into place, the Jays could build some real momentum heading into the weekend stretch.
