Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing four straight games with right groin tightness, Bart returned to action Sunday in Mexico City, playing all eight innings behind the plate while going 0-for-4 in a 6-4 loss to the Padres. Though Bart isn't dealing with any reported setbacks, the Giants will give Bart a chance to recuperate Monday on the heels of his first game action in nearly a week. Blake Sabol will catch for starting pitcher Ross Stripling in the series opener in Houston.

Bart (groin) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Sunday against the Padres, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been sidelined by a groin issue since April 24, but he'll return to action for Sunday's series finale versus the Friars in Mexico City. The 26-year-old is still looking for his first home run and RBI of the season but has a .303/.378/.364 slash line through 37 plate appearances.

Bart (groin) remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been sidelined since Monday due to tightness in his right groin, but he traveled with the Giants to Mexico City for this special two-game series and participated in a team workout Friday. Maybe he could be back in action Sunday. Blake Sabol will draw another start at catcher Saturday at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helu.

Bart (groin) ran on the field in Mexico on Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants have a rare Friday off with the team playing a two-game series in Mexico starting Saturday against the Padres, but it's a positive sign that Bart was able to participate in some pregame activities. The backstop has been out of action with tightness in his right groin strain, and he has a chance to return to the lineup against San Diego over the weekend.

Bart (groin) said he might be available off the bench Tuesday against the Cardinals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart is not in the Giants' starting lineup Tuesday after making an early exit from Monday's series opener versus the Cardinals due to right groin tightness. He underwent an MRI that thankfully ruled out any structural damage. Blake Sabol is getting the start at catcher and batting eighth Tuesday, but this should not be an extended absence for Bart.

Bart left Monday's game against the Cardinals due to right groin tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Bart was lifted from the contest in the seventh inning of Monday's clash, and he'll likely be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the second game of the series. If he's unable to go, look for Blake Sabol to take over behind the dish.
