The Pirates reinstated Bart (concussion) from the injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bart landed on the 7-day concussion IL in late May, but lingering symptoms caused his recovery to extend well into June. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday, during which he went 3-for-13 with four walks, two RBI and a run scored across five games. Now out of concussion protocol and fully healthy, Bart should slide back in as Pittsburgh's primary catcher.

Bart (concussion) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Bart resumed on-field activities a week ago but remained in the concussion protocol, but his assignment to Indianapolis implies that he's no longer dealing with any lingering symptoms of the head injury he suffered May 28. The 28-year-old will likely need at least a couple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, but he could be ready to return from the injured list at some point this weekend.

Senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Bart has returned to full baseball activities but remains in the concussion protocol, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart is progressing in his recovery from a concussion, but he'll need to clear the league's protocol before returning. He was placed on the 7-day injured list May 28 after being struck in the head by a backswing. Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez will continue to work behind home plate for the Pirates while Bart is sidelined.

The Pirates placed Bart on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was struck in the head by a backswing Tuesday and will be unavailable for at least the next week while in the concussion protocol. The Pirates reinstated Endy Rodriguez (finger) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he should split catching duties with Henry Davis while Bart is sidelined.

Bart was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks after being hit in the head with a backswing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Interim manager Don Kelly said after the game that Bart is still being evaluated, so it's unclear if he's suffered a concussion. Regardless, the 28-year-old seems likely to sit out Wednesday afternoon's series finale in Arizona after starting the first two games of the series.

Bart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bart started at catcher in both of the first two games of the series, so he will get some rest for Wednesday's rubber match. Henry Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Pirates.

Bart is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mets on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined for a second straight game, Andrew McCutchen will move to the outfield, which opens the DH spot for Bart while Henry Davis starts behind home plate. Bart went 6-for-12 with three RBI during the Pirates' three-game weekend series against Atlanta.

Bart went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Bart went hitless in Friday's game against Atlanta but closed the series 6-for-12 with three RBI, serving as the catcher in all three contests. He has maintained a .291 average and .411 on-base percentage across 124 plate appearances this season, though he has only six extra-base hits.

Bart went 4-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

All four knocks were singles, but it was still an impressive way for the backstop to snap a 2-for-20 beginning to the month of May. Bart has been handling a hefty workload so far this season, in part due to the absence of Endy Rodriguez (finger), and through 98 plate appearances he's slashing .286/.412/.378 with one homer, seven runs and eight RBI. If Bart can find a way to pair last year's power display with his newfound patience, he could be headed for a big summer.

Bart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

It's a routine day off for Bart, who had started each of the previous four contests (three at catcher, one at designated hitter). Henry Davis will be behind the plate and bat ninth for the Pirates on Tuesday.
