Many fans thought that Barger should have made the team this season and with players such as Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement struggling, if he plays well, he might end up staying in the majors.
It will be interesting to see how Barger ends up playing in his first game back and if he can prove to management that he deserves to stay in the majors for the rest of the season.
