Barney is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

After dropping the first two games in Chicago, the Blue Jays are switching things up for the series finale. Jose Bautista is starting at third base for the game, pushing Josh Donaldson to shortstop and Ryan Goins to second base while leaving Barney as the odd man out.

Barney is out of the lineup Monday against the Rays, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Blue Jays five games under .500 entering play Monday and essentially out of the mix for a playoff spot, there isn't much incentive to hand regular playing time to Barney, a 31-year-old, glove-first player who offers little upside at this stage of his career. Barney will cede the keystone to Rob Refsnyder in the series opener, which could become a more regular occurrence over the final month and a half of the season as the Blue Jays look to determine whether Refsnyder profiles as an everyday option.

Barney is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Barney is hitless over his last 10 at-bats, so he'll head to the bench for a breather after starting four straight games at second base. Rob Refsnyder will take over for him at the keystone for the contest, though Barney should continue to see plenty of reps with Troy Tulowitzki (groin) on the shelf for the rest of the season.

Barney will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Barney logged three consecutive starts earlier this week with the Red Sox bringing left-handers to the hill, but thanks to Troy Tulowitzki's groin injury, Barney will remain in the lineup against a right-hander for the third time in four contests. Since he's recorded only one hit over the last seven games and owns a pedestrian .215/.272/.271 line for the season, Barney's increased playing time won't mean much for fantasy purposes.

Barney will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Red Sox, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third straight start at second base for Barney, but all have coincided with the Red Sox bringing southpaw starters to the mound. With that in mind, he still looks to be stuck on the short side of a platoon at the position with Ryan Goins.

Barney is starting at second base and hitting ninth Saturday afternoon against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

After starting the first four games of June, the utility man hasn't logged an at-bat in Toronto's last three games. With Ryan Goins struggling on the heavy side of the platoon, Barney can earn more playing time with a solid stretch of games.

Barney is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matinee contest against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Barney has made the most of an increase in playing time recently, batting .308 with two RBI over four starts this past week. The righty appears to have emerged as the primary option in a second base platoon with Ryan Goins, but will get a routine day off Wednesday.

Barney will man the short side of a platoon at second base while Devon Travis (knee) is out, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neither Barney or Ryan Goins have shown much at the plate as of late, but it seems like manager John Gibbons is going to simply play the matchups for the time being. This would give Barney the short end of the stick, although he could pick up more starts if he breaks out with the bat in the coming days.

Barney will start at second base and bat seventh Sunday against the Mariners, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Devon Travis (knee) on the disabled list, the Blue Jays will count on excellent defense and whatever offense they can get out of Barney and Ryan Goins, who have both seen time on the keystone in the last handful of games. With Barney receiving his second straight Sunday, he may have inched ahead in the competition, but both players will struggle to find relevance outside of AL-only leagues regardless of who wins out in the job battle.

Barney (hamstring) is starting at second base and batting seventh Thursday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Barney dealt with a bout of hamstring tightness for the past week, but it didn't make much of a difference for the Blue Jays with Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki back in action after extended DL stints. Barney will move into the lineup to give Devon Travis a night off, but look for the former to move back into a reserve role after Thursday's contest.
