The results fromBarger's X-Rays have come back negative
Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters this evening that Barger's X-Rays came back negative meaning he will be probably off tomorrow but it looks like he will not be sideline very long.
John Schneider says X-Rays on Barger were negative. He'll likely get a day off tomorrow but not expected to be sidelined long.
This is great news for both the Blue Jays and Barger since he is currently one of their top prospects while they seem to have some big expectations for him.
Barger is likely also very happy that he will not be missing much time since he is currently in a spot where he is battling for a place in their lineup as they currently have an abundance of infielders and needs to showcase his abilities.
