Blue Jays recall left-hander Corbin and place outfielder Barger on injured list

By Canadian Press on April 7, 2026.

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays are recalling left-hander Patrick Corbin from single-A Dunedin and placing outfielder Addison Barger on the injured list.

The 36-year-old Corbin, who signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays last week, made his big-league debut with Arizona in 2012. He was 7-11 with a 4.40 earned-run average for the Texas Rangers last season.

Barger, meanwhile, sprained his left ankle in a game last Sunday in Chicago when he tried to leg out an infield single. His move to the IL is retroactive to Monday.

The Blue Jays are also designating left-hander Josh Fleming for assignment and recalling infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from triple-A Buffalo.

Corbin and Fitzgerald will be active for tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Rogers Centre.

The 4-6 Blue Jays enter play on a five-game losing streak.
