Article contentThe Blue Jays announced that their young right fielder, who came into his own during the team’s memorable playoff run a year ago, will undergo season-ending surgery on his right elbow. Barger’s 2026 season ends with nine games played and just one hit in 22 at-bats. According to published reports, Barger either will have Tommy John surgery on the elbow, or internal brace surgery. Manager John Schneider told media before the game in Boston that Barger had been experiencing elbow pain before that, but was playing through it.
