Will begin season in timeshare Bart and Curt Casali will open the 2022 season in a timeshare at catcher, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bart, the second overall pick from 2018, will get his first extended look in the majors after Buster Posey retired in the offseason. Bart played well with Triple-A Sacramento last season, slashing .298/.362/.476 with 10 home runs, 46 RBI and 37 runs scored in 67 games. Casali will cut into Bart's playing time early in the season, but a strong start to the season could give the latter an edge for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.

Even after Buster Posey's retirement, Giants catcher Joey Bart must earn his time behind the plate "We view it as some kind of timeshare between those two," Farhan Zaidi said regarding the catching competition between Bart and Curt Casali.

MARCH 14, 2022 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Don't assume that Joey Bart will be the Giants' full-time catcher next season Bart figures to be a part of the Giants' catching plans for 2022, but it may be a lot to ask him to start 100+ games for a contender.

SF Giants: With Buster Posey retired, is it Joey Bart's time for an extended look? “I think we’ll go through the process, but we’re also excited for Joey to get this opportunity.”

Returns from injured list Bart (quadriceps) was activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The backstop has regained his health after a strained quad sidelined him since Aug. 6. His recent absence could hurt his chances of being called up when rosters expand to 28 next Wednesday, but his .320/.383/.541 slash line at Sacramento should keep in the mix for a promotion by season's end.

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined with quad strain Bart was placed on Triple-A Sacramento's 7-day injured list Saturday with a minor quadriceps strain, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bart, who has hit .276 with two home runs and nine RBI since the Giants sent him down July 12, isn't expected to miss much time with the injury. That being said, it's unclear exactly when he'll return to minor-league action.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

SF Giants send catcher Joey Bart back to Triple-A for All-Star break Curt Casali is hitting .405 with a 1.336 OPS in his last 13 games.

JULY 12, 2021 • MERCURYNEWS.COM

Optioned back to Sacramento Bart was optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento following Sunday's win over Washington, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bart was brought up to the 26-man roster Saturday and notched two singles, one RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win. He'll now continue to get reps in Sacramento while the big club is on the All-Star break. It's possible that the backstop rejoins the 26-man roster for Friday's game against the Cardinals, but that decision will likely depend on whether Buster Posey (thumb) is ready to be activated from the injured list.

Recalled by Giants Bart was recalled by the Giants on Saturday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bart will give the Giants an extra catcher for the final two days before the break after Buster Posey (thumb) hit the injured list Thursday. He's swung a hot bat in 35 games for Triple-A Sacramento, homering eight times while slashing .338/.400/.581. He'll head straight into the starting lineup, catching and batting seventh against the Nationals. Logan Webb was optioned in a corresponding move.

Joins taxi squad Manager Gabe Kapler announced Friday that Bart (foot) has joined the Giants' taxi squad and could be an option to be activated over the weekend, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco...

Impact With the Curt Casali and Chadwick Tromp both on the 26-man roster, Bart isn't immediately needed following Buster Posey's (thumb) Friday placement on the injured list. Nonetheless, Kapler's update indicates that Bart has gotten past the foot injury he suffered last week, as he represents an option to join the roster at some point during the series against Washington.

JULY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Exits after HBP Bart exited Friday's game with Triple-A Sacramento in the first inning due to an apparent foot injury, River Cats broadcaster Johnny Doskow reports.

Impact Bart was hit on the foot by a fastball in the first inning Friday, and he was removed from the game. The severity of the injury isn't yet clear, and whether he's forced to miss additional time remains to be seen.

Heating up at Triple-A Bart went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and two RBI for Triple-A Sacramento in its 4-3 win over Reno.

Impact Just over a month into the minor-league season, Bart has already churned out seven multi-hit games at Sacramento. The 24-year-old catcher is now slashing .358/.411/.642 through 73 plate appearances in the minors, but a call-up to the big leagues likely won't be in the forecast for Bart unless No. 1 backstop Buster Posey is forced to the injured list at some point.

JUNE 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Moves past groin injury Bart (groin) returned to the lineup at Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored.

Impact Bart was sidelined for just over a week with a sore groin, but he appears to have made a full recovery from the issue. The 24-year-old is expected to spent most of the season at Sacramento, but he'll likely be the next man up for No. 1 catching duties at the big-league level should Buster Posey miss time at any point.

MAY 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with groin tightness Bart came out of Thursday's game for Triple-A Richmond due to groin tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact He was removed as a precaution. The 24-year-old backstop is hitting .351/.400/.676 with three home runs and a 30 percent strikeout rate in 11 games at Triple-A.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors Bart was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after Wednesday's loss to the Rockies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 24-year-old was promoted Tuesday and made an appearance as a pinch hitter, but he'll head to the minors with Sacramento's season set to begin Thursday. Bart should serve as the regular starter behind the plate for the River Cats this season.
