Blue Jays Make Move Amid Troubling Addison Barger Development

Then, just as it appeared Barger had turned a corner during his rehab from the elbow, he experienced back discomfort and an MRI revealed a bone injury and small fracture, forcing him to stop baseball activities entirely.

With Barger's return still in question, the Blue Jays made a move Thursday to bolster their outfield depth in the minor leagues.

According to their transaction logs, they signed outfielder Daz Cameron to a minor league deal (h/t Thomas Hall of Blue Jays Nation).

There is no guarantee Cameron ever suits up for the Blue Jays, but given how depleted the outfield has been and how bad Toronto's injury luck has been this year, having him in the mix does not hurt.

Cameron is a former first-round pick in the 2015 MLB Draft who never fully panned out at the big-league level. He last played for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2025, appearing in 21 games. He does not offer much offensively but can be a valuable defensive piece if Toronto adds him to the 40-man roster.

He was playing in the KBO this season and was having a solid offensive stretch before being released, which makes the signing a low-risk flier worth taking.

For now, the most important development for Toronto's outfield remains Barger finding a way to stay healthy and eventually make it back onto the field, something that has proven far more difficult than anyone anticipated heading into this season.
