Bart (groin) was reinstated off the 10-day injured list by the Giants on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Bart will get more time in Triple-A while recovering from his groin strain, but this likely has at least something to do with Patrick Bailey and Blake Sabol being better options for the Giants at this point. It's likely the Giants will give Bart a chance again this summer.

Bart (groin) is being evaluated by the Giants on Friday to determine his next steps, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart has been on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento, and the Giants will see how their backstop is recovering from the left groin strain that has sidelined him since the middle of May. It's possible Bart could be activated in the early part of next week, but his status likely won't be updated until the weekend. It's also unknown if he'll return to a starting role with Patrick Bailey receiving most of the reps behind the plate while Bart has been out.

Bart (groin) began a rehab assignment Friday and went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Triple-A Sacramento's game versus Tacoma.

EDGE Analysis

Bart may need a few games on the rehab assignment after being sidelined for over two weeks already. The catcher could be activated at some point next week. The Giants begin a three-game series in Colorado on Tuesday. It's unclear if Bart would return to a starting role once healthy, as Patrick Bailey has hit .310 across his first 12 major-league games.

Bart (groin) said that he's scheduled to resume baserunning drills Tuesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bart noted that he's already been taking part in all baseball activities with the exception of running the bases, so assuming he avoids any setbacks with his injured list groin Tuesday, he could get the green light to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later in the week. Patrick Bailey was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on May 19 when Bart was placed on the 10-day IL and has been operating as the Giants' primary backstop for the past week and a half.

An MRI on Friday revealed that Bart has a Grade 1 left groin strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grade 1 is the mildest strain, so this is good news for Bart. The catcher was placed on the injured list before Friday's game against the Marlins, and he has a chance to return to the lineup before the end of May.

Bart was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.

EDGE Analysis

Bart dealt with an issue on the other side of his groin last month, but this appears to be a new injury. He'll be eligible to return later this month, although it's not clear at this point whether he'll be ready at that time. Patrick Bailey is taking his roster spot and should share catching duties with Blake Sabol while Bart is out.

Bart is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Blake Sabol will catch and bat eighth. Bart had started three straight games behind the plate for the Giants prior to this night of rest.

Bart isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Bart started the past four games and will receive a day off after he went 4-for-13 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run. Blake Sabol will step in behind the plate for Sunday's series finale.

Bart is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing four straight games with right groin tightness, Bart returned to action Sunday in Mexico City, playing all eight innings behind the plate while going 0-for-4 in a 6-4 loss to the Padres. Though Bart isn't dealing with any reported setbacks, the Giants will give Bart a chance to recuperate Monday on the heels of his first game action in nearly a week. Blake Sabol will catch for starting pitcher Ross Stripling in the series opener in Houston.
