## Resource

The Toronto Blue Jays are in freefall, buried in last place with a 45-51 record and over 11 games behind the division leader. After their AL championship run last year, injuries have derailed their season — especially for key utility player Addison Barger, sidelined by a string of ailments including a back stress reaction, with only nine games played this year. Once a reliable contributor with strong postseason play, Barger’s absence looms large as the team faces a brutal stretch with division rivals looming. With just 66 games left, the Jays must decide whether to push for a playoff push or pivot toward rebuilding — and Barger’s return may not be the answer they need.
