The Pittsburgh Pirates placed catcher Joey Bart on the seven-day injured list on Wednesday because of a concussion.
In a corresponding move, the Pirates reinstated catcher/first baseman Endy Rodriguez from the 10-day IL after recovering from a finger injury.
Bart was hit on the back of the head on a backswing by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the fourth inning of the Pirates' 9-6 road win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Bart exited the game after warming up Pittsburgh reliever Joey Wentz in the fifth and was replaced by Henry Davis.
Bart, 28, is batting .240 with one home run and 11 RBIs in 44 games. He is a career .236 hitter with 25 homers and 94 RBIs in 286 games for the San Francisco Giants (2020-23) and Pirates (2024-present).
San Francisco selected him with the second overall pick of the 2018 MLB Draft out of Georgia Tech.
Rodriguez, who turned 25 on Monday, has not played since April 15, when he required stitches after taking a deflected pitch off his right index finger during a 10-3 home win against the Washington Nationals.
He is batting .178 (8-for-45) with three doubles and two RBIs in 15 games this season. He has started nine games at first base and five games behind the plate.
