Pirates' Joey Bart: Ready for rehab assignment
Bart (concussion) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Bart resumed on-field activities a week ago but remained in the concussion protocol, but his assignment to Indianapolis implies that he's no longer dealing with any lingering symptoms of the head injury he suffered May 28. The 28-year-old will likely need at least a couple games in the minors to get his timing back at the plate, but he could be ready to return from the injured list at some point this weekend.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Still in concussion protocol
Senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said Wednesday that Bart has returned to full baseball activities but remains in the concussion protocol, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Bart is progressing in his recovery from a concussion, but he'll need to clear the league's protocol before returning. He was placed on the 7-day injured list May 28 after being struck in the head by a backswing. Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez will continue to work behind home plate for the Pirates while Bart is sidelined.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Out with concussion
The Pirates placed Bart on the 7-day injured list Wednesday due to a concussion.
The 28-year-old was struck in the head by a backswing Tuesday and will be unavailable for at least the next week while in the concussion protocol. The Pirates reinstated Endy Rodriguez (finger) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, and he should split catching duties with Henry Davis while Bart is sidelined.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Being evaluated for head injury
Bart was removed from Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks after being hit in the head with a backswing, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Interim manager Don Kelly said after the game that Bart is still being evaluated, so it's unclear if he's suffered a concussion. Regardless, the 28-year-old seems likely to sit out Wednesday afternoon's series finale in Arizona after starting the first two games of the series.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Getting day off
Bart is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.
Bart started at catcher in both of the first two games of the series, so he will get some rest for Wednesday's rubber match. Henry Davis will start at catcher and bat ninth for the Pirates.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Serving as designated hitter
Bart is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the cleanup spot against the Mets on Monday.
With Oneil Cruz (back) sidelined for a second straight game, Andrew McCutchen will move to the outfield, which opens the DH spot for Bart while Henry Davis starts behind home plate. Bart went 6-for-12 with three RBI during the Pirates' three-game weekend series against Atlanta.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Strong weekend series
Bart went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Sunday against Atlanta.
Bart went hitless in Friday's game against Atlanta but closed the series 6-for-12 with three RBI, serving as the catcher in all three contests. He has maintained a .291 average and .411 on-base percentage across 124 plate appearances this season, though he has only six extra-base hits.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Bangs out four hits Saturday
Bart went 4-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to Atlanta.
All four knocks were singles, but it was still an impressive way for the backstop to snap a 2-for-20 beginning to the month of May. Bart has been handling a hefty workload so far this season, in part due to the absence of Endy Rodriguez (finger), and through 98 plate appearances he's slashing .286/.412/.378 with one homer, seven runs and eight RBI. If Bart can find a way to pair last year's power display with his newfound patience, he could be headed for a big summer.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Resting Saturday
Bart is not in the Pirates' starting lineup against the Guardians on Saturday.
Bart has started in the Pirates' last two games after missing time due to lower-back discomfort, going 2-for-7 with two walks and one RBI over that span. He'll be in the dugout for Saturday's contest while Henry Davis starts behind home plate and bats ninth against Cleveland right-hander Ben Lively.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Resumes catching Thursday
Bart (back) will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Thursday's game against the Nationals.
Though the Pirates were concerned enough about Bart's health to keep newly acquired Brett Sullivan on hand Thursday in case he needed to be added to the roster as additional catching depth, Bart demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from lower-back soreness to resume catching duties Thursday. The injury kept Bart out of the lineup for five straight games, but assuming he experiences no setbacks Thursday, he should be capable of handling a near-everyday role behind the dish moving forward. Bart had gotten off to a strong start o the season prior to getting hurt, batting .275 with one home run, one stolen base, five RBI and four runs over 12 games.

Bart will miss a fourth straight start due to lower-back discomfort. He was said to be available off the bench Monday and should be again Tuesday.

Pirates' Joey Bart: Out again Monday
Bart (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
Bart hasn't played since exiting Friday's 5-3 loss to the Reds due to lower-back discomfort, but he's expected to be available off the bench Monday after manager Derek Shelton said that the backstop caught a bullpen session earlier in the day, per Alex Stumpf of MLB.com. The Pirates called up Henry Davis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday to provide some extra insurance behind the dish while Bart has been tending to the back injury. Davis started at catcher in the previous two games, but Endy Rodriguez will form a battery with starting pitcher Paul Skenes in Monday's series opener.
