Bannon further reported a statement made by Toronto’s skipper John Schneider.

“It’s tough to lose the whole year of at bats, reps, performance,” said Schneider. “We were counting on him, obviously, to be a big part of our team. You can see how much you miss him, for sure.”

Bannon notes that Barger will undergo surgery on Monday, July 27, with Dr. Meister.
