EDGE Analysis
Barnes has a contusion on the side of his head, where Nick Fortes accidentally struck him with his bat in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday, but the 33-year-old backup catcher could return to action as early as Thursday's series finale in Miami. Will Smith is behind the plate for the Dodgers on Wednesday.
