SF Giants shuffle catchers, activate Bart and risk losing Wynns.
TL;DR
The San Francisco Giants have reinstated catcher Joey Bart from the 10-day injured list and designated fellow backstop Austin Wynns for assignment. Wynns was added to the roster to help the club out after a sudden catching shortage, but has lost his roster spot after just two plate appearances. Bart will now have a clear path to playing time behind the plate, with Rule 5 pick Blake Sabol in the mix for some outfield time. Gary Sánchez recently signed a minor league deal with the club, and could potentially get a roster spot after a few weeks of pseudo Spring Training in the minors.
