Bart is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart logged a full game at catcher in his return Monday from a back injury, but he'll give way to Blake Sabol in Tuesday's tilt. Those two figure to share time behind the dish moving forward in the wake of Roberto Perez's right rotator cuff strain.

The Giants activated Bart (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been out nearly all season with a back injury but is ready to go after picking up three hits in seven at-bats over two rehab games. It's unclear if he'll immediately reclaim duties as the Giants' top catcher or if he'll share work at the position with Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol.
