Barnhart hasn't helped his cause with a .154 batting average over his past 10 contests, but he does now have hits in three straight games.

Sitting Sunday Barnhart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact 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.

Impact Barnhart hasn't sat in back-to-back games at any prior point this season, which raises the possibility that he's dealing with an unreported minor injury. He did make an appearance off the bench Wednesday, however, which suggests that this might be nothing other than a chance to clear his head after he opened the year with a .541 OPS through 43 games. Eric Haase will make his second straight start behind the plate.
