Bart (concussion) went 1-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart missed the minimum seven days after entering the concussion protocol last Monday. Now that he's healthy again, he should retake the No. 1 catcher job for the Giants. He had a strong August, slashing .328/.371/.517 with three home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and two doubles in 18 contests, so he'll look to pick up where he left off.

Bart passed his concussion tests Saturday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Previous reports indicated that Bart expected to return from the 7-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, and that now appears to be nearly a lock. He'll get the chance to reclaim his starting role down the stretch and will look to build on his .227/.311/.399 slash line, a performance that's good for a slightly above-average 103 wRC+ despite his 36.8 percent strikeout rate.

Bart (concussion) expects to return from the 7-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart remains in the concussion protocol Friday, but he's feeling better and will likely be back in action following a minimal IL stint. Austin Wynns and Andrew Knapp should continue to serve as the Giants' top two options behind the plate until Bart is officially cleared to return.

Bart (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old entered the concussion protocol after taking a foul tip off his mask during Monday's contest, and he'll be sidelined for at least the next week. Bart was initially dealing with mild symptoms, so he may be able to return after missing the minimum of seven days. Yermin Mercedes was promoted to serve as the Giants' backup catcher while Austin Wynns steps into the starting role.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said after Monday's 6-5 loss to the Padres that Bart is in the concussion protocol but is dealing with only mild symptoms, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kapler didn't rule out the possibility of Bart clearing the concussion protocol and starting behind the plate in Tuesday's game, but the Giants will more than likely err on the side of caution and hold the young backstop out for the contest. If that's the case, Austin Wynns, who came on to replace Bart in Monday's loss, will likely be behind the plate Tuesday.

Bart was removed from Monday's game against the Padres due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart took a foul tip to the mask early in the game and was spotted being checked out by the training staff before the start of the fourth inning, but he remained in the game until the bottom of the fifth. He's likely headed back to the clubhouse for further testing. Austin Wynns replaced Bart behind the dish.
