Reds' Tucker Barnhart: Out of lineup Friday

Barnhart is not starting Friday against the Nationals.

Barnhart has now been on the bench in favor of Curt Casali in three of the last five games. Barnhart's .247/.332/.364 line is decent enough for a catcher, though Casali has been very hot at the plate, hitting .291/.400/.491 in 66 plate appearances, which could keep him in the lineup on a fairly frequent basis.
