The Pirates placed Bart on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old was struck in the head by a backswing Tuesday and will be unavailable for at least the next week while in the concussion protocol. The Pirates reinstated Endy Rodriguez (finger) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he should split catching duties with Henry Davis while Bart is sidelined.

Bart was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks after being hit in the head with a backswing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Interim manager Don Kelly said after the game that Bart is still being evaluated, so it's unclear if he's suffered a concussion. Regardless, the 28-year-old seems likely to sit out Wednesday afternoon's series finale in Arizona after starting the first two games of the series.

Bart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Bart started at catcher in both of the first two games of the series, so he will get some rest for Wednesday's rubber match. Henry Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Pirates.

Bart is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mets on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

With Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined for a second straight game, Andrew McCutchen will move to the outfield, which opens the DH spot for Bart while Henry Davis starts behind home plate. Bart went 6-for-12 with three RBI during the Pirates' three-game weekend series against Atlanta.

Bart went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Bart went hitless in Friday's game against Atlanta but closed the series 6-for-12 with three RBI, serving as the catcher in all three contests. He has maintained a .291 average and .411 on-base percentage across 124 plate appearances this season, though he has only six extra-base hits.

Bart went 4-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

All four knocks were singles, but it was still an impressive way for the backstop to snap a 2-for-20 beginning to the month of May. Bart has been handling a hefty workload so far this season, in part due to the absence of Endy Rodriguez (finger), and through 98 plate appearances he's slashing .286/.412/.378 with one homer, seven runs and eight RBI. If Bart can find a way to pair last year's power display with his newfound patience, he could be headed for a big summer.

Bart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

It's a routine day off for Bart, who had started each of the previous four contests (three at catcher, one at designated hitter). Henry Davis will be behind the plate and bat ninth for the Pirates on Tuesday.

Bart is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will get a breather for the day game after he went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a run scored while catching eight innings of the Pirates' 4-3 win Wednesday night. Henry Davis will check in for Bart behind the dish in the series finale.

Bart is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bart has started in the Pirates' last two games after missing time due to lower-back discomfort, going 2-for-7 with two walks and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for Saturday's contest while Henry Davis starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Cleveland right-hander Ben Lively.

Bart (back) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Thursday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Pirates were concerned enough about Bart's health to keep newly acquired Brett Sullivan on hand Thursday in case he needed to be added to the roster as additional catching depth, Bart demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from lower-back soreness to resume catching duties Thursday. The injury kept Bart out of the lineup for five straight games, but assuming he experiences no setbacks Thursday, he should be capable of handling a near-everyday role behind the dish moving forward. Bart had gotten off to a strong start o the season prior to getting hurt, batting .275 with one home run, one stolen base, five RBI and four runs over 12 games.
