Cleared for light activities Bart (foot) has been cleared to resume weight room activity and play light catch, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Per Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk, Bart is still "weeks away" from returning from the 10-day injured list, but the good news is that the 29-year-old catcher has progressed enough to take the next step in his recovery program. The Pirates should have a better sense of Bart's exact timeline of return once as he continues to increase his baseball activities.

Pirates place Joey Bart on the 10-day IL with a left foot infection and call up Endy Rodriguez

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed catcher Joey Bart on the 10-day injured list due to a left foot infection

MAY 12 • Associated Press

Placed on IL The Pirates placed Bart on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left foot infection, retroactive to Sunday.

Impact Manager Don Kelly said before Tuesday's contest that Bart was "banged up," and the 29-year-old backstop will officially have to miss at least seven more games while his foot heals. Henry Davis will presumably take over as Pittsburgh's primary backstop, and Endy Rodriguez will come up from Triple-A Indianapolis to provide depth behind the plate.

Dealing with injury Manager Don Kelly said Bart, who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, is "banged up," Chris Halicke of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

Impact Bart is sitting for a second consecutive game Tuesday after starting five of Pittsburgh's previous six contests. It's unclear if the 29-year-old is in danger of landing on the injured list. Henry Davis is starting behind the plate and batting ninth in the series opener versus Colorado.

Resting Sunday Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Four knocks against former team Bart went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 13-3 win over the Giants.

Impact Bart did some damage in his old stomping grounds, helping to keep the line moving at the bottom of the order. He's gone 9-for-20 (.450) over his last six games, added three RBI and five runs scored in that span. Overall, Bart is batting .259 with a .669 OPS, two home runs, six RBI, nine runs scored and no stolen bases over 62 plate appearances this season. He had been in a part-time role earlier in the season, but Bart's recent success at the dish has earned him more opportunities to start over the struggling Henry Davis.

Last Night in Baseball: Athletics Annihilate the Phillies

Clubs second homer Bart went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-2 win over Arizona on Thursday.

Impact Bart produced the final run of the game with a solo blast to left-center field in the sixth inning. That marked his first long ball and first RBI since he went deep against Washington on April 14. Bart has played behind Henry Davis for most of the campaign, but he may be making inroads toward more playing time. Bart has started behind the plate in three of Pittsburgh's past four contests and has gone 3-for-9 over that span.

Impact Bart will take a seat for the third time in four games after having made five starts in the span of eight contests. He and Henry Davis will likely continue to split starts at catcher throughout the season, but things appear to be trending back in Davis' favor.
