Joey Bart went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Bart provided all of the run production for the suddenly struggling Braves on Wednesday. The 29-year-old backstop hit his first homer since joining the Braves in the sixth inning, helping the club get back in the ball game, at least briefly. Bart has now gone 2-for-11 with three RBI since being traded to Atlanta, and he should remain in a backup role to starter Drake Baldwin going forward.
The Braves activated C Joey Bart from the 10-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Bart was acquired by Atlanta on Thursday. He'll add depth behind the plate for the Braves.
The Braves acquired C Joey Bart from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for RHP Hunter Stratton.
Fantasy Impact
Bart will add extra depth behind the plate for Atlanta.
Joey Bart began a minor league rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Bart went 0-for-1 with a walk while starting behind the plate. He has been sidelined for a month due to a left foot infection, so he will need multiple rehab games and must prove he can handle catching nine innings before being activated from the injured list.
Joey Bart has been cleared by doctors to resume weightlifting activities while wearing shoes.
Fantasy Impact
Bart suffered a left foot infection on May 9 in San Francisco. He is now set to begin weightlifting and will be reassessed at some point next week.
