Austin Barnes News: Back on bench Wednesday

Written by RotoWire Staff

Published on April 9, 2025

Barnes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Barnes will head back to the bench after he made his third start of the season in Tuesday's 8-2 loss, going hitless with two strikeouts in four at-bats. The veteran backstop is unlikely to play more than once or twice a week throughout the season if top catcher Will Smith maintains health.
