Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger will undergo season-ending right elbow surgery, ending his 2026 campaign. Reports suggest he could either have a full Tommy John procedure, with a nine-month rehab, or an internal brace with about six months to return, though the exact route hasn’t been confirmed. Barger has already dealt with multiple injuries this season and is on the 60-day injured list, missing significant time after earlier ankle and back issues. He finishes the year with limited playing time and a modest production line, following a previous season in which he posted 21 home runs and 74 RBI. Managers and reporters from MLB.com, TSN, and Sportsnet have circulated updates, underscoring the uncertainty around the surgery choice and timing. The team and the league will be watching closely as rehab plans unfold for what could be a lengthy recovery.

With major questions in their rotations and bullpens, the Padres could pursue free-agent Dustin May or Nick Martinez while other clubs eye their pitching depth; the Brewers are also weighing affordable options to replace May, and the Phillies may target Padres relievers such as Adrián Morejón. May offers upside but carries significant injury risk, while the Padres’ rotation struggled to stay healthy and provide innings last season.

Cardinals reportedly eye JoJo Romero reunion

The Cardinals are reportedly interested in re-signing left-handed reliever JoJo Romero, who helped Milwaukee win the World Series after St. Louis traded him at the deadline. Romero’s track record and the Cardinals’ bullpen needs make a reunion plausible, though the team also gained prospects in the trade and is weighing its roster plans.
