Bart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Bart had gone 0-for-6 in two games since receiving an off day Wednesday. He snapped the skid in the sixth inning Saturday with a solo shot to get the Giants on the board. The catcher has gone 17-for-48 (.354) with four homers, eight RBI and seven runs scored in his last 14 games. For the season, Bart has a .228/.315/.407 slash line with 10 long balls, 21 RBI, 26 runs scored and two stolen bases, though he's clearly trending in the right direction as he gets more fully adjusted to major-league pitching.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak during which he's gone 15-for-31 with two home runs, five RBI and five runs, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's contest. Austin Wynns will step in behind the plate and bat ninth.

Bart went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run in Monday's 6-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has produced five hits in his first two games back in action after he recently missed five days with a right ankle sprain. The young backstop endured a tough start to the 2022 campaign, but he's been much improved since getting a call-up from Triple-A Sacramento on July 6. In his 28 games since rejoining the big club, Bart is slashing .314/.344/.523 with five home runs, 13 runs, 12 RBI and a stolen base in 28 games. Those numbers make Bart a usable option even in fantasy leagues that start only one catcher.

Bart was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after undergoing an MRI and was available on an emergency basis during Wednesday's 13-7 loss to the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been held out of the lineup the past two days due to the injury, but the Giants hope he'll be able to retake the field Friday versus the Pirates after Thursday's scheduled off day. A trip to the injured list doesn't appear to be in play at this point. Austin Wynns has worked behind the plate the past couple days and should continue to start until Bart is cleared to return.

Bart (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Austin Wynns will pick up a second straight start behind the dish while Bart tends to a right ankle injury. Per Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News, the young backstop was sent in for an MRI on Wednesday, but the results aren't yet available. Manager Gabe Kapler said he's hopeful that Bart's ankle issue will keep him out for only a few days, but if the backstop heads to the injured list, the Giants would likely call up Andrew Knapp from Triple-A Sacramento to add depth behind Wynns.
