Bart left Tuesday's game versus the Diamondbacks with an illness, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Gabe Kapler said Bart was "ghost white" and throwing up. It's unclear if the 25-year-old catcher will have to miss a game or two -- Wednesday's series finale against Arizona is a 3:40 p.m. Eastern start time. Bart likely would have sat out a day game after a night game anyway, so it's a question of if he'll be available off the bench. He went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Tuesday.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was one of two Giants with multiple hits in the contest. He also showed off a little speed with his seventh-inning steal. Since rejoining the Giants on July 6, Bart has gone 11-for-41 (.268) with four extra-base hits and a 3:16 BB:K. The catcher is slashing .191/.303/.351 with six home runs, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored, two steals and three doubles in 51 contests, though his 42.8 percent strikeout rate remains discouragingly high.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart hit the first of three Giants home runs off Brewers closer Josh Hader in the ninth inning. The long ball was Bart's second in his last four games and his sixth of the season. The catcher is hitting .318 in nine contests since he rejoined the Giants on July 6. For the season, he's at a .188/.316/.375 slash line with 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and a stolen base through 133 plate appearances.

Bart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Since getting called up from Triple-A Sacramento on July 6 to replace the injured Curt Casali (oblique), Bart has worked ahead of Austin Wynns as the Giants' No. 1 catcher. Bart has gone a collective 4-for-17 with a home run, a double and two walks while starting in six of the past seven games, and he likely strengthened his grip on the top job by producing his first multi-hit effort with the Giants since April 29 in Tuesday's 13-0 win. With the Giants and Diamondbacks wrapping up their series Wednesday with a day game after a night game, Bart will be receiving some routine maintenance.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 13-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Bart went yard in the second inning and added a single in the eighth for his first multi-hit effort since April 29. The catcher has gone 4-for-17 (.235) in six contests since he was called up to replace Curt Casali (oblique) on the active roster. Bart owns a .168/.299/.327 slash line with five homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored, a stolen base and two doubles in 127 plate appearances, but he's still managed steady playing time in his second stint in the majors this year.

Bart is starting Friday's game against San Diego, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was called up by the Giants on Wednesday and will be in the lineup for a third consecutive game Friday. Over the last two games, he's gone 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a strikeout.

Bart was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and will be in the lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old is up with the Giants in the wake of Curt Casali's oblique injury, which is expected to carry a 3-to-4 week absence. Bart posted a .596 OPS in 22 games before being demoted to the minors and should work as the No. 2 catcher to Austin Wynns.

Bart was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after Tuesday's loss to the Rockies, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart will go down to Sacramento after struggling to find any consistency at the plate so far this season. Since May 18, he has produced a .080 average with no extra-base hits and 15 strikeouts over 25 at-bats. The catcher will look to get right in Triple-A and potentially return to the big leagues later this season. The Giants will replace him on the roster with Austin Wynns, who was acquired from the Phillies via trade Wednesday.

Bart went 1-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's 3-0 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was the only Giant to reach base multiple times in the contest, which saw the visitors earn just six baserunners. The single snapped an 0-for-9 skid for the catcher, who had two walks and a run scored in that span. He's still slashing a meager .161/.305/.310 with four home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs scored and a stolen base in 105 plate appearances. With an abysmal 44.8 percent strikeout rate, Bart's struggling to make contact, though his 14.3 percent walk rate is solid. Without better hitting, he'll continue to see more of a timeshare role with Curt Casali behind the dish.
