Addison Barger returned from the injured list and, in the top of the second, threw out Jorge Soler at home with a 101.2 mph outfield assist. Statcast recorded the throw at 101.2 mph, the fastest tracked outfield assist in MLB this season and the hardest Blue Jays outfield throw since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Barger's arm immediately bolsters Toronto's defense by deterring extra-base attempts and strengthens the club as it gets healthier.
