Not starting Tuesday Barnhart will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The Reds continue to rotate Barnhart and Tyler Stephenson heavily behind the plate. Stephenson starts there Tuesday, meaning both backstops have now caught eight games so far this month.

Showcases power in win Barnhart went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and a strikeout in Monday's 14-5 win over the Cubs.

Impact Barnhart remained in the lineup for a second straight contest after he hit a double Sunday, and he was productive once again in the series opener against the Cubs. The 30-year-old has split playing time with Tyler Stephenson recently, but Barnhart has his .294 with three homers, three doubles, nine RBI and six runs in nine games since the start of August.

Takes seat Saturday Barnhart is not starting Saturday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Barnhart has put together a solid offensive stretch, hitting .286 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI in his last 10 games. Tyler Stephenson will start behind the dish and bat fifth in the afternoon contest.

On bench Thursday Barnhart will sit Thursday against Atlanta.

Impact Barnhart sat in favor of Tyler Stephenson against every single lefty the Reds faced early in the season, and while the setup hasn't been quite as rigorous since the start of July, it's still usually been Stephenson behind the plate against southpaws. That will be the case Thursday as the Reds face lefty Kyle Muller.

Heads to bench Barnhart will sit Tuesday against Atlanta.

Impact Barnhart and Tyler Stephenson have been splitting time fairly evenly behind the plate for quite some time now. Stephenson will catch Sonny Gray on Tuesday, meaning both backstops have now made 12 starts behind the plate thus far in the second half.

AUGUST 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Sunday Barnhart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact After catching in both of the past two games, Barnhart will give way to backstop Tyler Stephenson (hamstring) in the series finale. The lefty-hitting Barnhart still appears to be viewed as the Reds' No. 1 catcher, but he'll likely sit regularly in favor of Stephenson when Cincinnati opposes right-handed starting pitchers.

AUGUST 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swats sixth homer Barnhart went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 10-0 win over the Pirates.

Impact He took JT Brubaker deep as part of a seven-run first inning for the Reds. Barnhart could remain behind the plate all weekend while Tyler Stephenson nurses a minor hamstring issue, but while the veteran catcher has gone yard in consecutive starts, his .214/.267/.357 slash line in 14 games since the All-Star break isn't very appealing from a fantasy standpoint.

Sitting again Thursday Barnhart is not starting Thursday's game against the Pirates, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barnhart, who has gone 8-for-38 with four RBI in 12 games since the All-Star break, sits for a second consecutive day. Tyler Stephenson is catching and batting fifth Thursday.

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Wednesday Barnhart is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

Impact Barnhart will get a breather in the series finale after he caught in four of the Reds' past five games. Tyler Stephenson will be behind the dish Wednesday, working in a battery with Luis Castillo.

AUGUST 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swats fifth homer Barnhart went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Twins.

Impact He went back-to-back with Eugenio Suarez to lead off in the third inning, giving the Reds an early 2-1 lead in the back-and-forth affair. Barnhart had an .815 OPS at the end of May but he hasn't contributed much since, slashing .243/.304/.348 over his last 38 games with two of his five homers on the year.

Gets breather Barnhart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact Barnhart will receive some routine maintenance in the series finale after he had caught each of the Reds' last three games. Tyler Stephenson will replace Barnhart behind the dish Sunday while batting out of the cleanup spot.

Remains out of lineup Barnhart isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs.

Impact Barnhart has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts in his last three appearances, and he'll retreat to the bench for the third time in the last four games. Tyler Stephenson will start at catcher and bat third.

JULY 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Barnhart is not starting Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact An 0-for-4 effort Monday lowered Barnhart's average to .167 in eight games since the All-Star break. He has drawn only one walk and driven in just one run in that span. Tyler Stephenson will start behind the dish and bat third Tuesday.

Resting Sunday Barnhart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Barnhart will get a breather for the second time in the series, allowing Tyler Stephenson to pick up a turn behind the plate. Cincinnati should continue to hand Barnhart the bulk of the starts against right-handed pitching for the foreseeable future, though he could fall into more of a timeshare at the position with Stephenson if the 51-47 Reds start to fade in the National League playoff picture.

Farmer sparks Reds comeback for 6-5 win over Cardinals

Tyler Stephenson drove in Kyle Farmer with a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 6-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals

JULY 24, 2021 • Associated Press

On bench Friday Barnhart is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Barnhart and Tyler Stephenson had alternated starts behind the plate for the last eight games, but it's now Stephenson who will get the nod for the second game in a row. Stephenson's .774 OPS makes a great case for more playing time, though Barnhart's .754 mark isn't far behind, so a fairly even split should be expected down the stretch unless something changes.

JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Wednesday Barnhart isn't starting Wednesday against the Mets.

Impact Barnhart will be out of the lineup for the third time in the last six games as he continues to alternate starts behind the dish following the All-Star break. Tyler Stephenson will start at catcher and bat third.

JULY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Barnhart is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Barnhart has the playing-time edge over Tyler Stephenson overall, starting 59 games behind the plate to Stephenson's 35 (with Stephenson starting an additional 13 at first base), but the pair appear to be converging lately. They've alternated starts over the last six games, which could mean Barnhart starts Tuesday before retreating to the bench again Wednesday.

JULY 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Barnhart will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Barnhart is having a good season at the plate, as his .762 OPS represents a career high. Fellow backstop Tyler Stephenson owns an even better .807 OPS, however, so the Reds will likely continue to give Barnhart fairly frequent rest in the second half. Stephenson will catch Luis Castillo on Saturday.
