Pirates Catcher Joey Bart Sidelined by Foot Infection: A Look at His Performance and the Teams Decision Joey Bart, the Pirates catcher, is currently on the injured list due to a left foot infection, which he noticed himself. The teams medical director confirmed that such infections can occur in professional sports due to constant sweat and playing on dirt. Bart is receiving care and is still being monitored by team physicians. Before his injury, Bart had been performing well, including a significant jump in his batting average in May. In his absence, the Pirates called up Endy Rodríguez, who has made a solid contribution. This situation might present an interesting decision for the Pirates when Bart is fully recovered and ready to return to the lineup.
