Barnhart isn't starting Saturday's game against the Royals. Barnhart went 0-for-10 with a run, a walk and two strikeouts over the last four games. However, he's alternated starts behind the dish recently and will take a seat while Eric Haase takes over at catcher and bats cleanup.

Barnhart isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Giants. Barnhart has alternated starts behind the plate recently, and he'll take a seat after he went 0-for-2 in Tuesday's loss to San Francisco. Eric Haase is starting at catcher and batting fifth.

Barnhart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. Though Barnhart has resumed switch-hitting this season, the natural lefty hitter hasn't had much success from the right side of the plate (.226/.294/.226 slash line in 34 plate appearances versus southpaws). As such, the Tigers could keep him on the bench against lefty starting pitchers more often than not. Barnhart will give way to Eric Haase behind the dish in the series finale with southpaw Dallas Keuchel on the bump for Arizona.

Barnhart is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks. Barnhart is 3-for-22 over his past nine games and will head to the bench Friday for the second time in Detroit's past three contests. Eric Haase will start behind the plate and bat ninth.
-
Barnhart will sit Tuesday against Boston. Barnhart has started just three times in the last seven games, while Tuesday's catcher, Eric Haase, has started five times over that stretch, including once as the designated hitter. While Barnhart's .529 OPS suggests he may deserve to see his playing time slip, Haase's .605 mark isn't much better, so the recent shift in workloads may be a temporary one.
