The San Francisco Giants got some bad news on Tuesday, right before starting their game against the San Diego Padres: catcher Joey Bart is headed to the Injured List.
Bart left Monday’s loss to the Padres after taking a foul tip off of his face mask. He was replaced by Austin Wynns, but the team didn’t immediately determine if he had a concussion or concussion symptoms.
After further tests on Tuesday, Bart was placed on the seven-day concussion IL. He’s replaced on the roster by fellow right-hander Yermín Mercedes.
In a dull and disappointing season for the Giants, Bart has been one of the brightest spots and best stories.
