Bart (hand) is starting Friday's game against the Nationals, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart was hit by a pitch Wednesday against the Mets and missed two games, but he'll be back in action for Friday's series opener. He's hitting .207 with two homers, a double, four runs, four RBI and a stolen base this year.

Bart isn't starting Thursday's game against the Mets due to a blister on his left hand, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart was hit by a pitch in Wednesday's win over the Mets and is experiencing some pain while swinging a bat. Curt Casali will start behind the dish and bat ninth Thursday, but Bart doesn't expect to miss any time beyond Thursday's day off.

Bart is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart started behind the plate during Game 1 and went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts, and it's no surprise he won't be starting both ends of the twin bill. Curt Casali will catch for ace Logan Webb in the nightcap.

Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Curt Casali will get the nod behind the dish as the Giants and Guardians wrap up their series with a matinee game. Bart started at either catcher or designated hitter in each of the Giants' last five games, going 5-for-17 with a home run, a double, a stolen base, three RBI and an additional run.

Bart went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and three strikeouts in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Bart's been very much hit or miss so far -- he's struck out in 13 of his 26 plate appearances, but he's also swatted two home runs and a double. The rookie catcher was initially expected to see a timeshare with Curt Casali, but Bart has gotten the better of that with six starts in the Giants' first eight games. While he's hit no higher than seventh, his fairly consistent presence in the lineup and solid hitting make him a reliable option in fantasy.

Bart went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 4-1 win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Bart added a pair of insurance runs with his two-run shot off Anthony Castro in the eighth inning. It was his second home run of the year and he's now slashing .333/.455/.722 through 22 plate appearances. Bart has yet to hit above seventh in the lineup this season but that could change soon if his bat stays hot.

Bart is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will receive Sunday off after starting the first two games of the season and going 1-for-5 with a solo homer, two walks and an additional run scored. Curt Casali will work behind the plate in his place.

Bart went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Getting the start behind the plate in the Giants' opener and hitting ninth, Bart launched a Sandy Alcantara offering to deep left-center field in the fifth inning. Buster Posey's heir apparent has big cleats to fill this season, but he at least figures to supply solid power numbers after slugging 10 homers and posting an .838 OPS over 67 games for Triple-A Sacramento last year.

Bart and Curt Casali will open the 2022 season in a timeshare at catcher, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart, the second overall pick from 2018, will get his first extended look in the majors after Buster Posey retired in the offseason. Bart played well with Triple-A Sacramento last season, slashing .298/.362/.476 with 10 home runs, 46 RBI and 37 runs scored in 67 games. Casali will cut into Bart's playing time early in the season, but a strong start to the season could give the latter an edge for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.

Bart (quadriceps) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The backstop has regained his health after a strained quad sidelined him since Aug. 6. His recent absence could hurt his chances of being called up when rosters expand to 28 next Wednesday, but his .320/.383/.541 slash line at Sacramento should keep in the mix for a promotion by season's end.
