Addison Barger - Picking up fifth straight start Barger will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds. Impact Barger will stay in the lineup for a fifth straight game, with the rookie having picked up three starts against right-handers and two against left-handers during that stretch. Until recently, Barger's opportunities had been fairly sporadic following his July 20 call-up from Triple-A Buffalo, but he's still produced a decent .727 OPS in spite of the inconsistent playing time. Barger has moved between right field and third base over his last five starts, with fellow rookies Leo Jimenez and Joey Loperfido typically exiting the lineup to make room for him.
