Bart is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Bart logged a full game at catcher in his return Monday from a back injury, but he'll give way to Blake Sabol in Tuesday's tilt. Those two figure to share time behind the dish moving forward in the wake of Roberto Perez's right rotator cuff strain.

The Giants activated Bart (back) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bart has been out nearly all season with a back injury but is ready to go after picking up three hits in seven at-bats over two rehab games. It's unclear if he'll immediately reclaim duties as the Giants' top catcher or if he'll share work at the position with Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol.

Bart (back) was assigned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday to start a rehab assignment.
EDGE Analysis
It's significant news for the 26-year-old and the Giants, especially since Roberto Perez (shoulder) was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday. Bart will be eligible to be activated during the upcoming week, and he should be ready to go after playing in a couple of minor-league games.

Bart (back) could begin a rehab assignment within the next few days, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart landed on the injured list shortly after Opening Day with a mid-back strain but has been progressing well. He is eligible for activation on April 11 and could be ready around that time.

Bart was diagnosed with a mid-back strain and was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to March 31.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was scheduled to make his first start of the season Saturday but was scratched with the back injury, and he will now be sidelined until at least April 11. According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Bart may require only the 10-day minimum on the shelf, so he could return when first eligible. In the meantime, Roberto Perez and Blake Sabol should split catching duties for the Giants.

Bart was unavailable off the bench for Saturday's contest and he will undergo a scan on his back before Sunday's game against the Yankees, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart picked up the injury during batting practice, Kapler said. The backstop should be considered day-to-day until the results of the imaging are available. Roberto Perez got the start in Bart's place Saturday and could be back in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Yankees.

Bart was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees due to back tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bart's 2023 campaign isn't getting off to a great start. He sat in favor of Roberto Perez on Opening Day, and it will again be Perez behind the plate Saturday. The Giants also agreed to a minor-league deal with Gary Sanchez, adding more competition at catcher.

Bart is not in the Giants' starting lineup for Thursday's season opener against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Roberto Perez will start at catcher and bat ninth against right-hander Gerrit Cole. It looks like there will be a sort of timeshare between Bart and Perez in the early going. They're both right-handed hitters, so it's not a natural platoon.
