The Toronto Blue Jays apparently plan on making a few adjustments to certain positions involving George Springer, Anthony Santander and Addison Barger.
The Blue Jays sent Will Wagner down to triple-A earlier this after as Daulton Varsho is back in the lineup and it looks like they decided to keep Addison Barger and will have him taking on some infield reps.
Blue Jays looking at mixing up the roster with Addison Barger, George Springer and Anthony Santander
The Blue Jays have had a tough run lately which is why they are looking at mixing things up in their lineup and testing out players in different spots to hopefully get some momentum.
According to reports, the Blue Jays plan on giving Anthony Santander and George Springer a lot more reps at DH while Alan Roden will see a lot more playing time in left field against LHP.
Anthony Santander & George Springer likely to get a bunch of DH reps. Roden LF vs some RHP. No real backup at 1B now, but Jays expect Vlad Jr. to play pretty much all the time. Santander or Clement could technically be used there. Barger, meanwhile, will see a bunch of time at 3B
It looks like Barger will start getting a lot more playing time at third base as he was seen taking ground balls prior to their game against the Boston Red Sox along side Ernie Clement.
Addison Barger will play more third base now, John Schneider says, especially against right-handed pitchers.

The majority of fans believe that Barger will end up taking over at third base since Clement has been struggling this season while Barger on the other hand has proven to be a solid defender and hitter.
Hopefully these changes will give the Blue Jays a much needed fresh breath and they can start to climb back into the winning column.
