Bart will sit Saturday against Cincinnati, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart didn't have much of an edge in playing time over Curt Casali throughout the middle of May, and with Casali back from a concussion, there's no guarantee Bart will make more than half the starts going forward. Casali owns an .816 OPS in 19 games this season, while Bart has posted a .634 OPS over 30 contests.

Bart will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Bart was on the bench for four of the Giants' last five games and appeared to be moving into the No. 2 role behind the plate, but he should now have some temporary security atop the depth chart after Curt Casali (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list Saturday. For the season, Bart is batting a disappointing .169 with four home runs in 86 plate appearances.

Bart isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Colorado, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco will give Curt Casali a chance behind the dish in this one after Bart caught the last two games of the weekend series against the Cardinals. He's collected a hit in each of his last three games but is off to a rough start at the dish in May, going 3-for-23 with a homer, two RBI and four runs scored over his first nine games.
