This is terrible new for the Blue Jays as Barger is one of their top prospects and had high hopes for him this season which is why many are praying that the injury is not serious.
As fans saw last year with Bo Bichette, a hand contusion could end up being quite serious as Bichette needed surgery to repair a broken finger that he spent the off-season rehabbing.
Hopefully it is nothing too serious but as of right now things do not look great.
