Pirates Reinstate Endy Rodriguez Place Joey Bart on Concussion List

The Pittsburgh Pirates have reinstated catcher/first baseman Endy Rodriguez from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a hand injury that required stitches, while placing catcher Joey Bart on the seven-day concussion injured list following a head injury sustained during a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Rodriguez, who had been hitting .178 in 15 games this season, will likely see more playing time at catcher during Bart's absence. Bart, who left the game feeling nauseous after being hit by a backswing, had a career-high 13 home runs last year but was hitting .240 with one home run and 11 RBIs this season before his concussion. In the meantime, Henry Davis is handling catching duties alongside Rodriguez. The Pirates are adjusting their roster in response to these injuries, with Bart's recovery timeline uncertain beyond the minimum concussion list period.
