In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo and activated him before Game 3 of their four-game series with the Royals on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Barger, Toronto’s No. 6 prospect according to Major League Baseball’s “Pipeline” website, is batting .314 through 19 games with the Bisons this season.

Toronto has been beset by injuries early this season, recently getting back pitchers Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson, and catcher Danny Jansen. Pitcher Alek Manoah is undergoing a rehab assignment with Buffalo.
