Barrera is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Barrera will be on the bench for the second straight game, but since he caught each of the previous three contests before that, he at least appears to be in a timeshare behind the dish with Riley Adams. Since rejoining Washington in late July, Barrera has gone 6-for-34 (.176 average) with three RBI and a run in 11 games.

Barrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Barrera caught each of the Nationals' previous three games, so he'll just be getting a breather for the series finale. The 26-year-old's recent workload would suggest he's viewed as the team's No. 1 backstop ahead of Riley Adams, who will catch for starting pitcher Paolo Espino on Sunday.

Barrera is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Barrera will be on the bench for the front end of the twin bill while Riley Adams catches for Washington, but the 26-year-old should start behind the plate for the second game. While the Nationals wait for veteran Alex Avila (calf) to come off the injured list, Barrera and Adams are likely to remain locked into a timeshare at catcher.

Barrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
After working behind the plate in both of the Nationals' last two games, Barrera will give way to Riley Adams, who was one of two catcher prospects Washington acquired prior to last week's trade deadline. Expect manager Dave Martinez to distribute the starts between Barrera and Adams relatively equitably, unless one of the two performs dramatically better than the other.

The 26-year-old started the past three games and will receive the day off Sunday. Barrera should continue to see regular starts down the stretch for Washington following the departure of Yan Gomes ahead of the trade deadline.
