Barger was in the Toronto lineup, playing right field and batting second, for Saturday's home game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Since making his major league debut in 2024, Barger is a career .224 hitter with 28 home runs and 104 RBIs in 212 games for the Blue Jays.
Pinango, 24, made his major league debut April 26 and was batting .423 with a double and four RBIs in 10 games.
