Barney will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Twins, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

After Blue Jays manager John Gibbons recently elected to use Josh Donaldson at shortstop and Jose Bautista at third base more regularly, it appeared Barney would be squeezed out of an everyday role in the middle infield. However, with Donaldson starting at the hot corner for the fourth time in five games Sunday, Barney seems to have regained a foothold in the Jays' lineup. Even so, with a .223/.267/.295 line for the season and a lack of impact in the counting-stats categories, it will be difficult for Barney to return value outside of AL-only formats even if he retains regular at-bats the rest of the way.
