Barger (hip) will start at third base and bat second Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's 7-1 win due to right hip discomfort, but the injury doesn't appear to be a serious one since he's back in the lineup a day later. Barger has carried a hot bat through 16 games in June with five doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs.

Barger was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox due to right hip discomfort, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barger was initially slated to play right field and bat second Saturday, but a hip injury has forced a change of plans. He can be considered day-to-day going forward. Davis Schneider will enter the lineup and play left field while Nathan Lukes slides to right.

Barger went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Batting second and starting in right field, Barger continued to scald the ball. Over his last 16 starts, the 25-year-old is slashing .328/.377/.703 with six doubles, six homers, 13 RBI and 15 runs. With Daulton Varsho (hamstring), Anthony Santander (shoulder), Nathan Lukes (concussion) and Myles Straw (ankle) all on the mend, Barger will likely see more work in right field in the short term rather than splitting his time at third base.

Barger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 5-4 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Barger and Bo Bichette hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Barger's served as a walk-off. The long ball was Barger's eighth of the season and sixth since May 30. He's been hot at the plate lately, going 18-for-60 (.300) with 14 runs scored and 12 RBI in his last 16 games.

Barger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Barger hasn't been a strict platoon player for the Blue Jays this season, but he'll nonetheless head to the bench for Toronto's second straight matchup with a lefty (Matthew Liberatore), after Barger previously sat against Phillies southpaw Jesus Luzardo last Thursday. With Barger out of the lineup, Ernie Clement will cover third base and George Springer will occupy right field.

Barger went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-4 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Barger flirted with a home run after flying out to center field in the first inning, but he was able to leave yard in the fourth on a two-run shot off Bailey Ober. Barger is up to seven home runs on the season, five of which have come over his last seven games, and during that span he has a 1.263 OPS with seven runs scored and 10 RBI.

Barger is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The left-handed-hitting Barger was in the lineup each of the last three times the Blue Jays faced a lefty, but he'll grab a seat Thursday as they go up against southpaw Jesus Luzardo. Ernie Clement will start at third base and George Springer will play right field while Barger exits the lineup.

Barger went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old continues to pummel the baseball, crushing a Max Lazar fastball over the right-field fence in the eighth inning. Barger has gone deep in four straight games and hit safely in six straight, and since a breakout three-double performance May 9, he's produced a .325/.385/.639 slash line with eight two-baggers, six homers, 14 runs and 16 RBI in 91 plate appearances. With Andres Gimenez returning to the lineup Tuesday, Barger shifted to right field against southpaw Cristopher Sanchez and hit fifth in the order, but he has entrenched himself as an everyday player for the Blue Jays, either at third base or in right.

Barger went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Barger was hitless before ripping a go-ahead three-run shot as part of Toronto's six-run eighth inning. It was his fifth long ball of the year, and he's gone deep in three consecutive contests. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .267/.333/.483 across 38 games this season. Over his last 17 games, Barger has gone 19-for-59 (.322) with nine extra-base knocks.

Barger went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Friday's 11-7 over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis
