Bart went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 15-6 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has hit safely in his last three games, and he hasn't struck out in his last two, the first time all season he's gone consecutive games without a strikeout. The catcher appears to be turning things around after starting May in an 0-for-15 skid. For the season, he's still slashing a shaky .185/.338/.385 with four homers, seven RBI, 11 runs scored and a 42.5 percent strikeout rate in 22 contests.

Bart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart started the past two games and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. He went 3-for-4 against the Nationals on April 29 but is otherwise hitless in his past 12 games. Curt Casali will work behind the plate and bat ninth in his place.

Bart went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 14-4 loss to the Nationals on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bart had his best game of the season with singles in the fifth and ninth innings and a seventh-inning solo shot sandwiched in between. Bart had gone hitless across his last six games prior to Friday's three-hit effort and is now slashing .214/.340/.452, with his OPS jumping 146 points thanks to the effort.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart and Curt Casali will alternate turns behind the dish for the 10th consecutive game. Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't suggested that the two backstops will work in a timeshare moving forward, so Bart can probably be viewed as the nominal No. 1 option for the time being.

Bart is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Bart played all nine innings in Friday's game despite dealing with a blister on his left hand, so it would seem he is being held out Saturday with the Giants playing an afternoon affair following a night game. Curt Casali will start behind the plate in Bart's place.
