Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will take a seat for the series finale while the playing time at catcher appears to be tilting back in favor of Henry Davis. Over the last six games, Bart has drawn just two starts to Davis' four.

Bart is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will yield to Henry Davis behind the dish for the third time in four games. Bart had started three of the previous four contests. He's slashing .248/.353/.321 in 272 plate appearances this season.

Bart is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will yield to Henry Davis at catcher for the second day in a row after he had started both of the two games prior to that. Neither catcher has made much of a case offensively for more playing time, though Bart has put up an .846 OPS in a nine-game sample in August.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Henry Davis will get the nod behind the dish Monday, but the playing time at catcher seems to be tilting in Bart's favor of late. With Davis batting just .098 since the All-Star break, Bart was awarded starts in three of the previous four contests. Bart went 3-for-10 with two doubles, two walks and two RBI during that stretch to boost his case for earning more opportunities at Davis' expense.

Bart went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Bart saw his playing time slip for much of July, but he has mostly alternated starts with Henry Davis since Aug. 4. In eight games since, Bart has gone 6-for-24 with two doubles, one home run and four RBI. He delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning Sunday to briefly give the Pirates the lead.

Bart went 0-for-1 with four walks, two runs and an RBI in Friday's 17-16 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Bart has now drawn at least one walk in each of his last four starts to bring his on-base percentage up from .327 to .355 for the season. The Pirates are continuing to use Bart in a timeshare behind the dish with Henry Davis, and the arrangement will likely continue for the balance of the season unless one of the two catchers dramatically outperforms the other.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will be on the bench for Monday's series opener, but he may have worked his way back into a timeshare at catcher with Henry Davis. The two backstops have now alternated turns behind the plate for each of the Pirates' last eight games, drawing four starts apiece.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Bart was in the lineup for only the second time in the last six games, and he has struggled to find a rhythm at the plate since returning from the injured list June 17. Across 14 games, he's gone only 10-for-45 with four RBI and one extra-base hit. The Pirates have a strong incentive to give Henry Davis consistent playing time across the second half, so Bart's playing time could continue to diminish.

Bart isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday will mark the third consecutive game Bart has begun on the bench, and the fifth time he has done so in Pittsburgh's last seven contests. His dramatic drop in playing time suggests that Henry Davis, who will be behind the dish Tuesday, is now the Pirates' preferred option to start at catcher.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

After starting behind the dish in the Pirates' first two games of the weekend series in Seattle, Bart sat out Sunday's 1-0 loss, and he'll remain on the bench for Monday's opener in Kansas City while Henry Davis gets another nod at catcher. Batting just .211 with no extra-base hits since returning from the injured list June 17, Bart may have to settle for a timeshare with Davis until his bat begins to heat up.
